Ageing and elder care research group

Research group
Information People

The ageing and elder care research group focuses mostly on following themes.

1) Integration, management and quality in elder care
3) Social exclusion in later life and gerontological social work
2) The impact of environment (Inc. digital solutions) on wellbeing of the older people
4) Private social services and informal care in service provision

In addition, the effectiveness of elder care is evaluated in different levels. For instance, these studies focus on service provision level questions, like the effects of the integration or work method level questions, like the effects of participatory group-based care management (see more e.g. Promeq-project).
