Background
Caregiving is a demanding role that can negatively impact a person’s health and well-being. As such, adequate access to healthcare is important for maintaining the family caregiver’s own personal health. The aims of this study were to identify if family caregivers of older adults had more difficulty accessing healthcare services than non-caregivers and to identify if family caregivers felt access to additional services would be beneficial for maintaining their own personal healthcare.
