An ageing population poses challenges in ensuring the well-being of this demographic and requires changes to social and health policies, long-term care and housing environments, amongst other areas.

1st Multi-venue Conference on Social Services, Care and the Community: The Care We Want

  Fecha:
 Tipo: Congreso
 Línea de conocimiento: 
 Localización: Zamora

The long-term care system is undergoing a profound transformation: rapid demographic changes, increasingly complex support needs, and growing expectations for personalised, community-based care models that focus on independence. This context calls for a thorough review of the skills, roles and working methods required of professionals today, ranging from new roles linked to support provision, community engagement or the coordination of support services, to the incorporation of digital skills, cross-sectoral work and rights-based methodologies.

Meeting: ‘A caring environment? Reflections on public spaces and local services’

  Fecha:
 Tipo: Jornada
 Línea de conocimiento: 
 Localización: Madrid

Care for older people has traditionally taken a welfare-based approach, leaving the people themselves out of the design of the resources and services that serve them, placing them in a position of subordination and invisibility. In recent years, however, this model of care has been changing, encouraging people to participate in policies and strategies that directly affect them, especially those at risk of poverty and/or social exclusion, in the generation of knowledge and in the fight for their rights.
