The role of Hospice Care at the end of life
Background: Persons nearing the end of life often prefer to die in their familiar surroundings. Dying at home is, however, not always possible, even when the person is supported by a mobile palliative home care team.

In some cases, no informal caregiver is available or the informal caregiver(s) …

This research sheds light on the advantages and pitfalls of the implementation of…
Examining Care Assessment Scores of Community-Dwelling Adults in Flanders, Belgium
One of the primary objectives of health systems is to provide a fair system by providing a comprehensive and holistic approach to caregiving rather than focusing on a single aspect of a person's care needs.

These assessments are completed by professional assessors and yield vital information regarding a person's health or contextual char…

Despite an increasing awareness of the impact of the social context of a person on personalised care planning, there is currently no generally accepted classification of social context. As a result, home care professionals have a partial understanding of what social context is and how it affects and can even benefit their work. In this study, we define the main themes and concepts of the social context in the home care setting. The goal in this s…
A comparative analysis of comprehensive geriatric assessments for nursing home residents receiving palliative care

The interRAI Palliative Care (interRAI PC) instrument is a CGA which assesses the diverse needs of older adults requiring palliative care in all healthcare settings. Examples of results are Client Asses…
