Typology: capitalization project

The CrossCare 2.0 project aimed to develop an adequate response to the phenomenon of population aging, a common challenge for the Program Area that will have a significant impact on healthcare and social inclusion policies in the medium term.

Objectives

The overall objective was to strengthen cooperation and governance in public-private decision-making processes involving institutions and key actors of social and healthcare services for the senior population in the Programme Area.
By capitalising on and strengthening the CrossCare® Model, the project developed shared strategies to address the common challenge of population ageing and improved the coordination of existing services in the cross-border area.
The innovative approach of the project involved the pilot implementation of cross-border Community Agreements at the local level, which supported a model of integrated and personalized care for the elderly and their families, in synergy between public and private services and thanks to collaboration with civil society and all formal and informal organizations active in the area.

Output

The skills of project partners, public administrations and sector operators have been strengthened, who have actively participated in joint training courses on Crosscare® methods and approaches.
A total of 228 people participated in training sessions and 163 in local workshops.
The Crosscare® Model was consolidated, as was cross-border collaboration through the creation of Community Agreements for an innovative approach to elderly care.
Joint Guidelines for drafting Community Agreements were published, and five Community Agreements were signed by a total of 53 entities, including public bodies, associations, and third-sector organizations.
Active aging services improved thanks to the implementation of community strategies with the CrossCare 2.0 Model pilot with at least 50 users.
Among the most innovative aspects of the pilot experience were the Neuro-Cognitive Motion Protocol, innovative assessment methods such as the Therapeutic Polar-Arc Scheme, the Validation and Gentlecare Methods, the Transcendental Meditation technique, and the professional role of the Care Manager.
