Sustainability in person-centred long-term care in rural areas

Workshop

18 September 2023

RuralCare project develops an integrated model of long-term care people and community centred. This model seeks to favour the permanence of people at home, according to their wishes and choices and agreeing on the necessary support to develop their life project. For this, the model focuses on the integral assessment of the person and the environment around. The person receiving care is at the center of the model.

The objectives of this event are:

  • Sharing results and lessons learned from the RuralCare project to regional, national, and European actors.
  • Promoting the exchange of experiences and perspectives with other models of long-term care in rural in Spain and in Europe and obtain learning for practice.
  • Sharing knowledge and experiences that help generate knowledge and a common understanding of care models based on people’s life projects and community life.

With all this, the event aims to contribute to up scaling and replication of the good practices in the context of LTC considering the challenges of sustainability.
