The Impact on Unpaid Informal Caregivers who Support their Aging Loved Ones report is the first of its kind to be released in Alberta.
Informal care is not paid for or funded by the province’s healthcare system; however, caregivers enable their loved ones to continue living at home. Caregivers are often discussed within the context of the support they provide to their loved one, as opposed to being considered individuals with their own needs.
To capture this population’s voice, the HQCA conducted interviews with 29 caregivers and their loved ones to better understand their challenges, and to identify ways our healthcare system can support clients and their caregivers to live safely at home longer.
We celebrate what’s working well and focus on improvement in three important aspects of the healthcare system: patient safety, person-centred care, health service quality.
