Abstract

Care for frail older people with dementia and multimorbidity presents a growing challenge, driven by increased life expectancy, and a shortage of care professionals. The main challenge is to support people with dementia to live a meaningful life in dignity. Further, it calls for innovative approaches of health and social care services across domains to facilitate service users, their families, and society in achieving this high ambition. This complex issue calls for new care paradigms and organizational frameworks. Key to this transformation is the development of personalized and person-centered care models within networks (on the level of the person and interorganizational), grounded in shared normative and functional frameworks. This shift requires the dedicated attention of policymakers and care-providing services, as well as communities.
