Studies of family caregiving to older parents have focused on filial responsibility. In this study, the meaning of familial responsibility to older members was investigated by interviewing two or three generations in families providing assistance to older family members in a noninstitutional setting. Forty-three members of 15 families discussed the meaning of responsibility to older relatives who needed assistance. The data suggest that familial responsibility encompasses both responsibility to the older person and responsibility to other family members and that shared responsibility among several family members is not uncommon. Implications for future research and provision of services to families are discussed.
