When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services, such as adult day-care centers. If the care-givers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse, usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discovered that the reason for this difference was fear of

　　poverty. An ill, elderly person may live for years, and medical care and nursing homes are very expensive. An elderly couple，s savings can disappear very quickly. The surviving spouse, usually the wife, can be left in poverty. As a result, she often tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can.
