At home with the family

Good everyday life for the elderly in family care

The project “At home with the family – A good everyday life for older people in family care (2020-2023) ” will work with older people, their relatives and family carers to build a set of recommendations and a model for good family care for older people.

The development partners of the project are about 30 elderly people living in family homes and 10-15 family homes with family carers from the Oulunkaari Municipal Corporation, Pirkanmaa and Southwest Finland family care units. The relatives of the elderly, other family carers and family care workers in the area are also involved in the development work.

In addition, the project is supported by three expert organisations: the Age Institute, the Memory Association and Turku University of Applied Sciences.
