This study reports perceived needs, morale and strategies for coping with stress for 68 caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease living in relatively isolated communities in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Participants express needs for educational and social support, experience significant difficulties with morale, and employ coping strategies which reflect an inadequate social support system. Some implications for social policy are described.
