Bringing the gaps in long-term elderly care 🌐 In light of the 2019 European Health Interview Survey (EHIS), nearly 47% of elderly individuals in the EU with severe difficulties in personal care or household tasks reported lacking the assistance they need. For instance, 17.2% struggle with getting in and out of a chair, and 16.5% face challenges with bathing or showering activities that may seem effortless to people of young age and good health yet create severe psychological distress for the elderly. Such statistics highlight the pressing need for enhanced long-term care services and support. 🧠 The Eldicare 2.0 project aligns with this need, focusing on workforce development and training to address these and competence gaps (i.e., soft and digital skills in the workforce). By improving access to skilled caregivers and innovative care models, Eldicare 2.0 aims to ensure that our elderly population receives the dignified, comprehensive support they deserve. #Eldicare #ElderlyCare #ErasmusPlus #VET #EU #EUVocationalExcellence #EUVocationalSkills #healthcare #healthcareprofessionals #vocationaltraining #healthyageing iekAKMIedu | AKMI International | Aktios Elderly Care | ACQUIN e.V. | BK CON | Asociace poskytovatelů sociálních služeb České republiky | Metropolitan College Global Engagement | FNAQPA | Gérontopôle AURA | Lares Mayores | ÖJAB – Österreichische JungArbeiterBewegung / Austrian Young Workers Movement | Blocks Health and Social Care | DAYANA-X Ltd. | Eurocarers | EUROPEAN AGEING NETWORK (EAN) | European Social Network | European Vocational Training Association - EVTA | European Association of Institutes for Vocational Training (EVBB)
