Abstract
Income maintenance policies are geared to reducing the risks of parental dependence on children. Euphoric expectations about support by primary networks are not justified. Although such help is extensive, families do not possess unending resources for attending to the complex health and social needs of their aging relatives. This article discusses present income maintenance strategy as well as alternatives to traditional care.
