4. Findings
Based on our analysis, three interrelated, dialectical themes
were identified: (1) finite formal care-inexhaustible familial
care, (2) accessible resources rhetoric-inaccessible resources
reality, and (3) diminishing care resources-increasing care
needs. Although the management of dementia home care
resources is complex, study findings suggest that the lack of
available, accessible, and appropriate formal care resources
has ultimately contributed to the failure to provide optimal
home-based dementia care.
