Caregivers then began to assess three issues which determined whether or not they used formal services : the availability of services ; their authority level within the family ; and whether or not they could justify their tolerance limit. The availability of a service was determined by the quality of the service, the distance to the service, the sanctions that would incur as a result of using the service, information about the service, and the quantity of the service. The caregivers'authority within the family varied depending on such factors as how much the caregiver was accepted by her married family or the type of family business. This authority level determined whether and how the caregivers could approach other family members in order to obtain their consent to use formal services. (...) |
