Enhancing Virtual Palliative Care for Family Caregivers in Rural Ontario Navigating Dementia and Chronic Conditions

About the Opportunity

Compassionate palliative care is essential for individuals with dementia and their caregivers. However, many families living in rural settings cannot access palliative care unless it is through virtual methods.

This study aims to address these challenges by involving caregivers and healthcare professionals to co-design virtual palliative care support.

What will be expected of me?

Participation will take place virtually over one-on-one interviews through platforms like Zoom or phone.

You will be asked about your experiences with palliative care and virtual care delivery.

Later, in-person co-design sessions will be hosted to work collaboratively on developing a compassionate virtual palliative care program.

Your support will directly inform the development of more accessible palliative care for caregivers and people living with dementia.


How do I participate?

You're eligible to participate if you are:

  • A Family caregiver who lives in rural Ontario, and care for individuals living with dementia who have received palliative care
  • A Healthcare provider who medically practices in rural Ontario, focused on supporting caregivers of persons living with dementia through a palliative approach to care
