France’s Carers, Cared programme improves quality of care and life for both caregivers and care recipients

Home care is the preferred option for the rapidly ageing population in France’s Aquitaine region. This case study showcases how the Carers, Cared programme has effectively bridged geriatric care and occupational safety and health.

Through training, regular risk assessments and even a unique theatre group, the programme has delivered proven improvements in home care safety and health and prevention practices for all concerned. While challenges such as administrative and financial burdens remain, the programme’s content can be adapted to local context and different needs in different regions.
