Removing Alzheimer's disease from the “catch-all” of neurodegenerative, chronic or elderly diseases to give it its own label and address it specifically by the health system, is the main demand of AFAN (Association of Relatives of People with Alzheimer's and other Dementias of Navarra) for the World Day of the disease, which is accompanied by the 'Specific' campaign and a new edition of the Alzheimer's Week of Navarra, which includes parades, theater and talks on prevention or sexuality.

Long-term care at home

  Date:
 Type: Conference
 Line of Knowledge: 
 Location: Facultad de Ciencias Sociales y del Trabajo de la Universidad de Zaragoza

Addressing long-term care at home is a challenging subject to analyse and study due to the possibilities of reformulating the conceptual framework, based on comprehensive models centred on users with ecosystemic approaches adapted to the territory.

It is increasingly important to consider the advances that are being developed in long-term care, in order to respond to the needs and concerns of people who want to remain at home, promoting, maintaining and preserving their autonomy as much as possible.

Our current way of organising care work does not meet social needs. At present, the system does not have the capacity to guarantee the well-being of many sections of the population and the data predict a worsening of the situation in the coming years, unless we organise care in a different way.
