Long-term care faces numerous challenges. Evolving social, demographic, and technological conditions, advances in medicine, and growing societal expectations necessitate adapting of the approach to caring for the elderly and dependent individuals.
How can we provide care that is close to the person, that respects their dignity, autonomy, and supports independence? What organizational models are most effective and tailored to the diverse needs of our care recipients? Where can we find innovative solutions to guide us in the right direction? Amidst the maze of global changes, long-term care needs a compass. This conference is intended to be our shared roadmap, a place for exchanging ideas and seeking answers to these crucial questions.
