Project Summary

<< Background >>

Eldicare has been designed by taking into consideration the CEDEFOP Skills Panorama findings (Analytical Highlights for Personal Care Workers Skills Opportunities & Challenges) on the skills mismatch in the Elderly Care Sector, focusing on two major challenges:1. The tech-literacy of elderly care workers, in order to stay updated and relevant in an ever-changing environment 2. A pathway out of the grey market for atypical/undeclared elderly caregivers, through education and training.

<< Objectives >>

The main objective of the project is to offer a pathway out of the grey market for atypical/undeclared elderly caregivers, through education and training in ICT & health applications, modernizing the way elderly care is provided by designing two fresh market-driven Curricula responding to the needs of this special demographics group and their families and closed ones.

<< Implementation >>

Eldicare, with a total lifespan of two and a half years, has been implemented through five Work-Packages, that led to its successful completion :1.Project Management 2.Scoping Analysis and state of the art review 3.Curriculum Design 4.Curriculum Delivery 5.Quality Assurance and Accreditation 6.Dissemination, Exploitation, Sustainability

<< Results >>

The main results of Eldicare are:1.Two fresh, ICT-driven curricula for professionals and atypical/undeclared caregivers, that have been accredited by a European Organization and are available in a well-structured, user-friendly e-learning platform2.The first Code of Conduct for elderly caregivers3.A psychometric tool for the assessment of atypical caregivers
