There are challenges with living in rural areas, in particular, when the caregiver has reached a point in their life when they're no longer able to hop in the car and go to where the services are provided. In some communities there are services like mobile blood collection, that sort of thing, but not nearly enough, though. Of course, health care centres are in more populated areas. Given the geography of our province, a great deal of distance needs to be covered by some families, and it is a great stressor to them.
