The research examined the experiences of African American grandmothers living in rural communities providing care to their grandchildren. The study explored the health, mental health, physical functioning, well-being, support, and resources of these grandmothers. The grandmothers reported challenges and needs which included their own health issues, lack of support and resources, financial concerns, transportation and childcare issues. The findings revealed that developing health education programs and other formal supports focusing on health, mental health and resources have a positive effect on the grandmother’s perceptions regarding their health and support.
