Eurofound: Paths towards independent living and social inclusion in Europe

The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) has recently published a report examining national deinstitutionalisation strategies across EU Member States. The objective of these strategies is to facilitate a transition in care and support from institutional settings to family and community-based models. The provision of services in local environments allows for greater individualisation of care, social inclusion and independence for care recipients. However, the report identifies challenges, and features case studies and showcases best practices to support the successful implementation of community-based care models. IR Share served as the national correspondent for this study, contributing data on France’s approach to care and deinstitutionalisation efforts.
