ABSTRACT
The purpose of this qualitative study was to provide in-depth descriptions of preferences for receipt of long-term care among a small sample of information-rich cases. The participants in this study, women in late midlife caring for a parent or parent-in-law, expressed where they would prefer to receive care, who they would want to provide care, and personal traits that would be important in a caregiver. A major theme centered personal characteristics these women would want in a caregiver, traits such as empathy, sensitivity, and knowledgeable about elder care.
