Over the past few months, the Eldicare 2.0 project has made meaningful strides in shaping the future of elderly care. With productive meetings across several work packages, our team is building momentum toward creating a resilient, skilled workforce for Europe’s Silver Economy. Here’s what we’ve been working on and why it matters:
Quality Assurance
BK-Con has been working hard to ensure everything runs smoothly! These efforts might sound behind-the-scenes, but they’re critical—they help us monitor progress, ensure quality, and stay aligned with our goals ⭐️
Occupational Skills Profiles
Defining the skills needed for elderly care roles is at the heart of this project. Why is this important? Because understanding these skills is the first step toward bridging the gap between what caregivers can do today and what they’ll need to do in the future!
Sustainability in Elderly Care
Caring for the elderly isn’t just about skills—it’s also about sustainability. That’s why we’ve developed tools to support caregivers and offer self-assessment opportunities. Looking ahead, we’ll be launching an online survey in January to gather valuable input from the field. This is all about ensuring that care practices evolve to meet long-term challenges while staying compassionate and effective.
Dissemination
Our dissemination team has been busy keeping everyone in the loop. Recent updates include preparing the next newsletter and press releases to share our progress with a wider audience. These efforts help spread the word about Eldicare 2.0 and ensure the project’s impact resonates beyond our immediate circles.
Every step we’re taking in Eldicare 2.0 is about creating better tools, stronger strategies, and a more skilled workforce for elderly care. These meetings aren’t just about ticking boxes—they’re about tackling the real challenges of an aging population with innovative solutions.
As we gear up for the new year, there’s so much more to come: surveys to shape our tools, new resources for caregivers, and plenty of opportunities for collaboration. It’s all about building a brighter, more sustainable future for elderly care—together.
Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being part of this journey with us
