Caring contexts of rural seniors : phase I : technical report / by Janice Keefe, Pamela Fancey, Norah Keating, Judith Frederick, Jacquie Eales, & Bonnie Dobbs.: V32-430/1-2004E-PDF
"In Canada there has been little research on how rural communities might differ in their capacity to care for seniors or the ways in which the independence of seniors in these communities is affected by their relationships with the formal and family/friend networks of support. Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) has a clear commitment to the care and support of older Canadian veterans. Many of Canada’s veterans served in the Second World War and Korea and are now in their seventies and older. It is particularly challenging to develop policies and programs to support those living in rural areas where small, dispersed populations mean that urban models of care and support may not be appropriate. VAC is committed to maintaining its position as a leader in Canada in evidence-based policy making for our aging population. Towards this goal, VAC has partnered with Canadian researchers to investigate the question, “Is rural Canada a good place to grow old?”"--Background, page 1.
