Abstract
The paper summarizes some of the findings of the qualitative part of the research "Assessing the needs of family members caring for the elderly", which was focused on the experiences of people caring for a loved one with dementia. The results are based on the interviews with 56 caregivers.
We describe the problems that caregivers had to deal with in the individual stages of care, as well as supporting and risk factors that facilitated or complicated their journey.
