Home care is essential for the continuity of care, but rural communities struggle to procure these services regularly. As rural populations age, these difficulties may be exacerbated. This study examines the challenges and solutions for offering home care in rural areas. Healthcare professionals held focus groups and one-on-one interviews in rural communities, and these interviews were recorded and analyzed using thematic analysis. Changing rural contexts, stakeholder relationships, and sustainable communities were the primary themes. Increasing knowledge, sharing information, and dialogue among stakeholders were also crucial. Collaboration between professions may also create more sustainable home care in rural communities.
