Abstract
The study explored the experiences of eight African American grandmothers residing in rural areas caring for their grandchildren, while suffering from chronic health issues. The research examined the health, physical functioning, well-being, social support, and resources of these grandmothers. The grandmothers reported challenges and needs which included their own health issues, financial difficulties, limited support, transportation difficulties, and childcare concerns. Implications for the study were that developing health education programs and other formal supports focusing on health, resources and social support have a positive influence on grandmother’s perceptions of their changing health and support.
