The mapping explores the current landscape of community and family-based care approaches in regions across Europe. The main objective is to inform the regions’ strategy for the deinstitutionalization and transition to community and family-based care.

The database includes 14 good practices on accelerating the deinstitutionalisation process and supporting the transition to community and family-based care.

The learning events — including peer reviews and thematic seminars on topics like independent living, person-centred support, and improving healthcare access for vulnerable populations in rural areas —fosters policy learning and enhances the partners’ institutional capacity in accelerating the deinstitutionalisation process.

7 regions will integrate community-based approaches, in line with the EU deinstitutionalisation strategy. The regions will improve the relevant policies to promote new care models that foster independent and community living.

The policy brief will contain key findings from the project supported by data, case studies and clear, actionable recommendations for regional policymakers. Its objective is to present policy reforms, implementation strategies and funding opportunities on community-based care.
