Upcoming conferences about Carehomes

Marie-Hélène Gillig s'interroge modestement sur l'apport de la spécificité chrétienne aujourd'hui par la création d'une fondation : un surcroît d'attention à la personne humaine et de force d'innovation ?

La société Avizen a identifié chez les structures d'aide à domicile et chez les personnes accompagnées et leurs familles un besoin très précis, celui de coordonner les interventions à domicile et de gérer les changements incessants de planning. Avizen répond à ce besoin par un portail Internet.

It seek to shed light on the direction of travel for the long term care sector, and to highlight the opportunities as well as the threats to providers who fail to respond to a rapidly changing market place.

It bring together a range of expert speakers including providers and commissioners from across PCTs, mental health trusts, the voluntary sector and community care to discover the impact that the Strategy has had on the provision and delivery of dementia services.

Self-directed or personalised care will be the key issue facing care managers, purchasers and providers in 2010, addressed in this 13th annual conference by speakers and through interactive delegate/panel discussions.

It considers the implications of recent changes within local authorities for providers, the future of residential care and whether supported housing can offer better value, new funding streams and the impact of new grants on the supporting people programme.
