| Annotation | Caring for a relative with dementia at home can be a difficult task, although support services can do much to assist carers. However, in rural areas such services may not be readily available or accessible. This first of two papers reports on a qualitative study in which a group of carers living in a rural community in Australia participated in a focus group and interviews. Issues explored included the carers' experiences of caring, and the effects of rural life on this. Through content analysis of the data it was found that these carers faced many challenges but were also able to access several sources of support, particularly in terms of family and the local community.
