wp-block-paragraph\">This qualitative study continues Dr. Kelly\u2019s expertise in DF home care by exploring how the programs can be designed to enhance social and health outcomes for diverse home care clients, informal supports, and care workers in Canadian contexts. We hone in on three&nbsp;perennial policy issues&nbsp;&#8211; that is, areas in which consensus has not been reached and further, that may present challenges to the equitable access to DF. We consider: i) the role of home care agencies in DF service delivery; ii) developing DF as a niche or mainstream program; and iii) adapting DF for rural contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
