In Hungary, as in most other countries, faces an aging population. Chronic illnesses, including cancer, among older adults often require assistance from family and formal caregivers. This study’s objective was to understand Hungarian social (formal) caregivers’ challenges providing care in the home for older adults diagnosed with cancer. A focus group design explored the experiences of 28 Hungarian social caregivers and 6 social work supervisors who work for county agencies responsible for formal caregiving services to older adults. The data reveal that the older adults often developed dependence on these caregivers for physical (personal), health-related, and “emotional” care. Caregivers also related difficult interactions with health providers and observation of ethical problems (autonomy, truth-telling, and justice). The complex nature of providing social care for Hungarian older adults with serious illness calls for policies that set increased requirements of educational competence and training.
