This article focuses on home-based dementia care from
the perspective of persons with dementia, their family members,
and home care providers, situating these experiences
within a sociocultural context. In particular, we examined
the relational experiences of clients, family caregivers, and
providers involved in dementia home care, and the contextual
factors that influence the formation and negotiation of
those relationships, with the ultimate aim of identifying the
necessary policy and practice changes to improve dementia
home care. Four integral relational care processes emerged
from our findings: reifying care norms, managing care
resources, making care decisions, and evaluating care practice.
This paper focuses on one relational care process, managing
care resources.
