Caregiving for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease in rural and remote communities presents unique challenges due to limited access to healthcare services, specialist care, and community resources. Family caregivers in these areas often experience higher levels of physical, emotional, and financial stress while receiving minimal formal support. Geographic isolation, transportation barriers, and workforce shortages further complicate timely diagnosis and ongoing care. This presentation explores these challenges and highlights strategies and policy implications to improve support systems for caregivers and individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease in rural settings.

To identify gaps in healthcare access, social support, and community resources that affect caregiving quality and caregiver well-being. To discuss evidence-based strategies and policy implications aimed at improving support systems for caregivers and individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease in rural settings.
