Do you visit a friend or family member in a nursing home

Are you the parent of a child with mental or physical challenges?

Do you phone a friend or family member regularly to check on them, make sure they take their meds or to see how they are each day?

If you answered YES to any of

We are looking for caregivers who are willing to be interviewed for a research project. The research project is exploring interactions caregivers have had with health professionals. In particular, interactions they have had with rehabilitation therapists, such as physiotherapists and occupational therapists, who provide care in the home for the care recipient.
