Emprove
EMpowering PROfessional RelatiVEs in Europe
About the project
In addition to age, more and more older people have physical or mental disabilities. By 2047, one in four (21%) women and one in six (17%) men over the age of 65 should have disabilities, including physical disabilities. Older people with mental health problems feel more fragile and vulnerable than before as contact with caregivers is now minimized, with loneliness and neglect becoming a reality for many people.
The goal of the EMPROVE project is to support the quality of assistance for elderly by creating an innovative curriculum for the people who would like to train to become a Professional Relative. Professional Relative is a profession of a profession of a geriatric care manager: someone who is with the family, who plans and supervises care. He/she has the appropriate preparation, experience and does not struggle with emotional baggage.
