The “Unpaid caregiver challenges and supports” section of the report Dementia in Canada examines the challenges faced by the caregivers of adults with dementia. The findings are enhanced by personal accounts from two caregivers. Key topics include the hours of informal care provided, the distress experienced by these caregivers and its associated factors, financial challenges, and the available support.
Published as an online resource, Dementia in Canada draws on information from multiple sources to illustrate the impacts of age-related cognitive change on healthcare systems across Canada, as well as on Canadian health workers and caregivers. For more information on the research approach, see the Methodology Notes.
