BackgroundOlder persons often have interacting physical and social problems and complex care needs. An integrated care approach in the local context with collaborations between community-, social-, and health-focused organisations can contribute to the promotion of independent living and quality of life. In the Urban Health Centres Europe (UHCE) project, five European cities (Greater Manchester, United Kingdom; Pallini (in Greater Athens Area), Greece; Rijeka, Croatia; Rotterdam, the Netherlands; and Valencia, Spain) develop and implement a care template that integrates health and social care and includes a preventive approach. The UHCE project includes an effect and process evaluation.Meth…

Democracy and Governance in Public Services: The Case of Residential Care in Lithuania
2016
Prijelaz u 21. stoljeće obilježio je uspon formalne demokracije u Litvi. Klasična demokracija koju se uglavnom poima putem izbora i sudjelovanja građana u političkim procesima proširila se na više instrumenata i na više razina. Građani sada aktivno sudjeluju u odlučivanju na svim razinama: na makro razini kao dio izbornog tijela, kao i na mikro razini kao korisnici javnih usluga. Cilj je ovog rada analizirati proces demokratizacije u Litvi iz perspektive rezidencijalne skrbi i sudjelovanja njezinih korisnika. Empirijski dio rada donosi analizu rezultata sociološkog istraživanja o institucijama rezidencijalne skrbi koja pokazuje koliki je značaj sudjelovanja i osnaživanja u organiziranju soc…

Oralismos versus lengua de signos: políticas de inclusión educativa sobre el alumnado con deficiencia auditiva en Italia y España
2018
A partir del Informe Warnock de 1978 la mayoría de los países europeos iniciaron procesos de integración, y posteriormente inclusión educativa, con un cierto desarrollo normativo. Gran parte de dicha legislación tiene un carácter general. De entre las múltiples necesidades y diversidades funcionales, tan sólo la supresión de barreras arquitectónicas ha tenido un tratamiento diferenciado. Recientemente han aparecido normativas específicas para la atención educativa y social a personas con deficiencia auditiva. Con motivo de analizar las últimas modificaciones se ha comparado la normativa referida a este colectivo en dos de los países con mayor índice de inclusión educativa de Europa: Italia …
Family Carers’ Expectations and Strategies in Shaping Live-in Migrant Carer Arrangements: A Comparison Between Germany and the Netherlands
2021
Item does not contain fulltext This chapter analyzes different old-age care regimes with regard to the expectations family carers have vis-á-vis live-in migrant carer arrangements and the strategies they develop to shape them.

The analysis reveals both differences and similarities between family carers in both countries. It shows that family carers in Germany rather favor family-like arrangements, whereas family carers …
