Reliable dementia care and support service pathways are essential for timely diagnoses and for reducing the delay in time from diagnosis to care and support. However, carers commonly experience difficulties in finding information about where to go and what to do before and following a dementia diagnosis. In rural and regional areas, accessing dementia care and support services can be especially challenging. This qualitative, narrative inquiry study explores the agency of carers, and people living with dementia, in their navigation of regional dementia care and support service pathways.
