Abstract
Adult day programs for elderly people have been implemented throughout North America but not widely evaluated for their impact on family caregivers. This study examined caregiver outcomes at 14 programs in Alberta, Canada. Caregivers were measured on burden, quality of life, perceived health, opinion on institutionalization at 4 time points (just prior to client admission, 2 weeks, 2 months, and 6 months after admission), and satisfaction with the program at 3 points after client admission. Caregiver status on burden, quality of life, and perceived health status remained stable over time. In addition, caregivers' opinion on institutionalization remained negative and satisfaction with the programs high. Caregivers reported that client socializing and improved health were what they liked best about the programs, followed by respite for themselves. Time conflicts-limits and transportation were identified as problems. The results suggest that adult day programs may help caregivers to continue in their caregiving role and to keep clients in the community longer.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
