"Changing Perspectives on Long-Term Care across the Globe"
Wednesday, November 26th at 8:00 AM CT/Secretariat
(See this event in your local time)
Our population is aging rapidly, impacting the way we live, dwell, care for, and work with one another in society. This requires a changing role for all actors involved in the ecosystem of long-term care, including older people, their family caregivers, professional caregivers, long-term care providers, social care providers, municipalities, funding agencies, housing organizations, and local and national governments. This event will debate the challenges of long-term care and provide an intercultural perspective on how to change the spectrum of long-term care service delivery.
We look forward to seeing you there!
