The challenges of providing home care have been well documented. Lack of support for family caregivers [8–11], lack of recognition and poor working conditions of home
support workers [12, 13], early hospital-to-home discharge policy [14], and poor system coordination [15] are examples of the challenges faced by persons living with dementia and their familial and formal caregivers. Furthermore, limited resources to implement and sustain a home care infrastructure [16] and a shift of chronic care to community settings without the corresponding transfer of funds [17] compound the difficulties encountered.
