ABSTRACT
In-depth understanding of dementia carer experience can assist clinicians by providing insight into dementia onset, symptoms and management, and help conceptualize and understand the pattern of dementia progress over time and what help is needed. We undertook a qualitative study to understand dementia carers experiences of providing care and reasons for admission to a residential aged care facility (RACF). Three themes were identified: (1) Challenges in the path to diagnosis and care, leading to delays accessing support; (2) Carer role impacted by living circumstances; and (3) Variation in decision support prior to admission to a RACF. Identifying dementia carer experiences, reinforces the need for more timely diagnosis, referral for support and interventions to promote better quality of life for a people living with dementia and their carer and to delay premature RACF placement.
