With an ageing population, healthcare in Switzerland is changing. These profound changes also call for new problem-solving approaches.
CURAVIVA Switzerland, a national umbrella organisation for care homes for older people, adults with disabilities and children and adolescents with special needs, has presented its 2030 Residential and Care Model for Elderly People (80+) by way of a forward-looking vision for discussion.
It notes the demands placed on the Swiss healthcare system will change greatly with the generations that are now entering the phase of old age (the so-called baby-boomers). It assumes that generations born after 1945 will give rise to a completely different set of needs.
This generational change in which ‘nothing will ever be the same again’, will probably remove any simple continuation of the existing long-term care scheme. New and innovative approaches to services for the elderly will be required.
These include:
- Care, support and domestic services in a person’s home
- Care, support and domestic services in apartments designed for older people
- Specialist care and support services (e.g. dementia, palliative care, geriatric psychiatry, etc.)
- The traditional care institution will become a health and community centre in the familiar living place of the elderly person.
