An integrated care model for elderly in home countries: the role of social work and legal services for transnational families
摘要
The need for integrated care for the elderly has grown globally due to ageing populations and the increasing prevalence of chronic health conditions. Many elderly individuals, particularly those in transnational families, face challenges in accessing adequate care and support, as their family members may be dispersed across different countries. This study addresses the role of social work and legal services in supporting elderly individuals in their home countries, focusing on transnational families. The integration of social work practices and legal frameworks is crucial in providing effective care for the elderly in these complex family dynamics. The research explores the challenges faced by elderly individuals and their families, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between social work professionals and legal experts. The study proposes an integrated care model that combines these services to enhance the well-being and rights of elderly individuals in home countries, offering insights into how this model can be applied in transnational family settings.
