The Need to Consider Relocations WITHIN Long-Term Care

The RELOCARE (relocations in long-term care) consortium aims to raise awareness of the topic of relocations in long-term care. Some older people living in a long-term care facility experiences (involuntary) relocations. Relocations in long-term care are complex and can have a large impact on older people and their family caregivers. Furthermore, relocations are expected to occur more often in the future because of the larger culture change within long-term care, in which radical changes in physical, social, and organizational care environments are being implemented to facilitate person-centered care and support.
