The project partnership recognized the fast aging society as a serious demographic threat in the cross-border area which cannot be addressed due to insufficient institutional capacities and low accessibility of social care for elderlies. Decreased mobility, loneliness, dependency, low socio-economic status and poor health leaves elderlies almost invisible in a society that has no adequate answer. We CARE aims to improve the quality and accessibility of health and social care services for elderlies in the cross-border area of Central Croatia, Northern Bosnia and Herzegovina and Southern Montenegro. The project approach combines social inclusion and deinstitualization of social care activities to deal directly with elderlies and mobilize their physical and intellectual capacities according to their needs, interests and the well-fare of the community. Among several project outputs, elderly day centres and home care teams will be established to ensure that no elderlies are left behind, especially in rural and remote areas.
Diocese of Banja Luka – Caritas Banja Luka (BA), acting as the lead partner, will set up the Elderly Day Center and establish home care services in the partner’s area.
City of Garešnica (CRO) will develop social services for elderlies in the Garešnica area and also establish the second Elderly Day Center. The partner will set up the home care services.
City of Lipik (CRO) will refurbish the Elderly Day Center, organize an Elderly Festival and media campaigns to raise awareness on the need to assist elderly persons in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Caritas of Bar Archdiocese (MNE) will implement project activities in Bar region. It will set up the fourth Elderly Day Center, thus expanding the network of institutions for elderlies to Montenegro.
