[Assistance, nursing and participation in old age : Future of domestic care in cases of care dependency].
Zeitschrift Für Gerontologie und Geriatrie 2017 May 25
The future development of home care services for older people in need of care is associated with great challenges. This article begins with a brief summary of the most urgent care problems from the perspective of people requiring care and that of caring relatives. The problems exhibit social and spatial inequalities and are characterized by coordination problems within a fragmented organizational system. Calls for a viable "care mix" are nothing new but have recently gained considerable traction under the label of "caring communities". This model is prioritized by the German government and addressed in its Seventh Report on Older People (Altenbericht). It seeks to assign neighbors and unpaid volunteers a more central role in the provision of care and assistance. In relation to "caring communities" a differentiation between cure and care is also proposed. The article discusses this model and the assumptions about the potential of neighborhood and civic engagement upon which it is based, and analyzes its impact on the nursing profession. It concludes with a critical discussion of the model's prospects of contributing to a resolution of the outlined problems.
