Community Health Nursing Canadian perspective 5th Edition by Lynnette

Exercise 3

You work in collaboration with a long-term care facility that has just developed a support group for rural families caring for a relative with dementia, which is most commonly caused by Alzheimer's disease. After the first six months of the service, only three family members have attended the group, even though you are sure that many others could benefit from the support. What issues could make families reluctant to participate in this service? In what ways can technology (e.g., Skype, telehealth) be used to facilitate participation?
