Perspectives on support and care for the improvement of quality of life in the elderly

The Spanish Red Cross Chair USC offers this summer course whose themes will allow a critical analysis of social support and care, both health and social-health care, aimed at the elderly and propose policies or actions for improvement in a social context of increasing complexity and technology.

The main contents will be:

• Legal and ethical aspects of care and support for the elderly.
• Perspectives and future trends in gerontological care.
• Assistive technologies for an inclusive society.
• Analysis and prospective of support and care for the elderly in institutional and community settings.

From Matia we are participating with a presentation on "Analysis of trends in gerontological care", given by our colleague Maider Azurmendi, Director of Home and Community Care at the Matia Foundation.
