Closing Conference: Presentation of the final results of the RuralCare project

19 September 2023 

The current demographic reality in Castilla y León is characterized by an ageing population, with 60% living in rural areas. The Rural Care project is developing an integrated model of long-term care which is people and community-centred, enabling people to stay in their own homes with the necessary support, based on an integral assessment of their wishes and their environment.

The closing conference will discuss the results of the project and how the findings can be replicated and upscaled in other rural areas across Europe.
