A TRANSNATIONAL STUDY OF AGEING IN PLACE AND HOSPITAL CARE AT HOME
Ageing Right Care(fully) (ARC) is a transnational research project which explores the care pathways between ageing in place and hospitalization of older adults. Using a system approach, the project aims to (re)design at-home hospital care models which are responsive to the future needs of older adult populations. Special attention is paid on how to create supportive environments (built, social, technical) for receiving (hybrid) care at home.
The consortium is comprised of a diverse team of experts, including nurses, architects, demographers, health economists, designers, and health scientists, each contributing their distinct perspectives to the project.
The ARC project is executed in three regions, with the goal to learn from each other: the Netherlands (Western Europe), Sweden (Scandinavia), and Israel (Middle East). These countries form an interesting case for comparison due to their growing ageing populations, yet distinct healthcare systems and reforms in older adult care. By combining multi-level knowledge, the results from the ARC project will inform the future of at-home hospital care for older adults.
