Introduction: Caring for AD persons imposes a great burden on
carer’s health, as well as on their time and resources. Family members
can act as interpreters of AD person’s needs, contact persons or
performers of various caring roles at home. Relatives often experience
lack in possibilities in providing holistic care and incapability to
develop relationships with AD person. In literature the emphasis is
on professional carer’s experiences. A lack exists in literature on
challenging specific relatives’ experiences concerning care of AD person
at home. The study aims to describe these.
