| Annotation | Dementia care in rural areas in Australia is in need of attention from researchers, planners, and policy makers. Family carers in these areas face some significant challenges, in terms of managing the care where support services are often unavailable or inaccessible. This second of two papers reports on a qualitative study in which a group of rural based carers participated in a focus group and interviews. Through this process, the carers' perceptions of support services were explored. Content analysis of the data revealed that, despite a number of supportive aspects of rural life, these carers felt in need of more services, a finding supported by current literature. (AKM). |
