Building elder care training for migrants and refugees employed in informal care: suggestions from the SWOT analysis of the educational programme “HERO”
Proper elder care can prevent the onset of very common risks for the health of older people with long-term care needs and then decrease the hospital accesses and the general pressure on the Health System. Policy recommendations are given framed in the social investment policy framework to consider and monitor all stages of the elder care supply chain, from education up to employment of migrant care workers.
