Biomedical advancements today allow older adults, including those with dementia, to live longer, with most living at home with a lay caregiver. Recent research documents the stressful role of caregiving to persons with dementia (PWD). This qualitative phenomenological study describes the lived experience of caregivers caring for PWD, including their experience with palliative care. A community sample of lay caregivers (N=11) underwent recorded individual interviews (each approximately one hour). Interviews were analyzed following van Manen’s approach to isolate thematic statements. Most caregivers were older (M 71, SD 9.6; range 53–84 years) and female (n=10). Study themes included: Uncertainty: The Slippery Slope, The Sense of Loneliness, Complexities of Frustration, and On the Other Side of the Spectrum. Findings illustrate that these caregivers are dealing with a range of dynamic feelings about their experiences. Opportunities exist for health care professionals to discuss such feelings and refer caregivers to supportive services including palliative care.
