Andrea Zanolla

CrossCare Project Partners met in Triest the 29th of November to discuss the results of the testing of the cross-border Model, an integrated approach to healthcare for the elderly. The model is based on the concept of active ageing and a welfare community methodology and aims to respond effectively and comprehensively to the needs of the frail elderly person, of the family and of caregivers, with a view to allow autonomous and better quality of life at home.

The evaluation phase will draw conclusion and suggestions based on results of the testing phase which will end in December 2018.
