Coping at home

Coping at Home -project is R&D Programme for Welfare Competence.

Coping at Home -project is R&D Programme for Welfare Competence.

The project has resulted in the development of a two-way data network (Caring TV) for use by 25 family carers in the area of Tapiola (Espoo) and the people they care for. Project participants have also received training in the use of the MetPro indicator program that assesses the strain experienced by the aged. Furthermore, in collaboration with the University of Jyväskylä, they have developed a new indicator suitable for evaluating the elderly.

Students have been involved in planning and creating CaringTV programmes, evaluating their success as a part of the family carers' lives, and assessing the adoption of a suitable operating culture. Caring TV is a cost-effective innovation for assisting the elderly in living at home.
