Documentation of European expert meeting on Live Ins
In September 2021, 35 experts from various European countries discussed the ambivalences, problems and family policy challenges arising from the care and nursing of elderly people in private households by care workers from abroad in the form of so-called "24-hour care".
The perspectives of those in need of care, their relatives and the situation of the care workers and their families in the sending countries were intensively considered.
The documentation of the expert discussion is now available and can be downloaded here in German and English:
