Quality and workforce in long-term care

Person-centred care models in rural areas.

9 – 10  March 2023 : Valladolid, Spain

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.

On 9-10 March, the Rural Care project is organising a workshop to:

  • Share results and lessons learned from the Rural Care project with regional, national and European actors.
  • Gather experiences and perspectives of other models of long-term care in rural Spain and Europe which can be considered for the project.
  • Share knowledge and experiences to help generate a common understanding of care models based on people’s life projects and community life.

The workshop also aims to contribute to up-scaling and replication of the good practices in areas of quality and workforce as they affect the delivery of long-term care in rural areas.
