The purpose of this review article is to explore the exploitation of eLearning as caregivers’ support for patients with dementia in order to help deliver better care for this target group of people, as well as maintain quality of life of their caregivers. The methods include a method of literature search of available sources describing this issue in the world’s databases Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, and a method of comparison and evaluation of the findings in the selected studies on the research topic. The findings indicate that the eLearning programs can have a significant impact on the improvement of depressive symptoms of caregivers looking after the patients with dementia. However, more evidence-based studies are needed on this topic.
