“Being in a rural area means you may or may not have services for what you need and you’re at the mercy of the system. So, you’re in a rural hospital who may not have neurological specialists in it. If you need memory care or other cancer care, in my case I go to Toronto or Hamilton to seek that specialty service which is a 2-3 hour drive to get there.” – Rural Caregiver

What challenges do rural and remote caregivers face?

Caregiving is challenging. For those who live in rural and remote communities, many of the every day obstacles of this role are magnified.

To find out more about the realities of caregiving in rural and remote communities, we brought together caregivers to hear about their experiences. This is what they had to say.

This work was made possible through funding from the Petro-Canada CareMakers Foundation. Special thanks to our caregiver partners for their insights and collaboration.
