Weak points of CBRWeak points of CBR
Weak points
• lack of network of social service for the elderly living out of city in distant areas:o Outpatient Social Service
o Housing social services
o Home assistance
• insufficient support of subsidiarity (on the level of citizen and public administration, where municipalities don’t want to take over the responsibility for their citizens)
• low intergenerational and communal solidarity
INTERREG IVC9
weak points of CBRweak points of CBR
• insufficient health prevention especially in issues such as nutrition and healthy life style;
• insufficient providing of information concerning health and social issues, e.g. possibilities of social and health services;
• insufficient transport connection for Central Bohemia citizens to get to unexisting healthcare network;
• low use of ICT in health system e.g. the relation and communication between a health-care-provider and a patient.
INTERREG IVC10
Target of CBRTarget of CBR
Targets of CBR within DART
• to support elderly people to remain self-sufficient and stay in their homes as long as possible.
• to support Social Inclusion of the elderly: creating Supportive Home Housing Policies (to support a better quality of life, better psychological wellness and positivity that helps keeping the elderly living in their homes).
• ensure the social and health services in low populated areas and raise awareness of ageing (e.g. on nutrition, prevention of diseases).
• Exchange of the best practices with each partner of DART in the area of public services dedicated to the elderly.
INTERREG IVC11
Activities of CBRActivities of CBR
Envisaged activities:
• Identification of the most affected areas by demographic changes (analysis).
• Finding the best tools to ensure better accessibility to basic social and health services and to improve their quality, especially the service for the elderly (recommendation).
INTERREG IVC12
ActivitiesActivities
Other possible activities:
• Assess impact (benefits) of innovative social systems which might complement existing social network and design the most effective one.
Regional information centres (care points)
System of volunteers/assistants (neighbourhood assistance)
• Comparing the opportunities for social inclusion of the elderly in two municipalities, which are similar in number of population,
area and some demographic data (comparative study).
• The outputs should be implemented into strategic documents such as Regional Development Plan and Mid-term Social Service Development Plan.
