3 Caring for Older Persons: The Caregivers' Perspective

Published:November 2011

Abstract
The apparent lack of caregivers raises the question of what can be done in order to increase the workforce. An answer can be found by investigating and understanding the perspective of current caregivers. This chapter discusses two recently conducted qualitative studies for such investigations. It turns to the concrete experiences of these caregivers and explores how they respond to the challenge of caring for older persons. At the same time it illuminates the difficulties of recruiting people for this job. The availability of care facilities and caregivers, however, does not allow conclusions about the attitudes of older persons who seek care. To understand the demand, one has to consider the factors that motivate older persons' decisions about receiving different types of care.
