Integrated care for frail older people suffering from dementia and multi-morbidity

The challenges of care for frail older people with dementia and multi-morbidity are increasing, partly due to our improved health care services and increased life expectancy. This challenge is not an easy one. It requires innovative approaches in order to face these challenges and to reduce current and future burden of service users, their families and society. It is a challenge that requires new care paradigms and new organizational paradigms. Working towards the principles of a new concept of health, working towards personalized and person-centred care in networks, based on shared normative and functional frameworks needs full attention of policy makers and care providing organisations.
