Pilot programme
Palliative care in residential care facilities for the elderly
Introducing palliative care will make nursing homes a true home for their clients until the very end.
We finance comprehensive programmes with the ambition to create a network of nursing homes able to provide holistic care for people at the end of life in an environment they are familiar with and to further share the acquired know-how.
Palliative care practitioners
Development of palliative care in general practitioners‘ offices.
We believe that GPs are the key to more accessible palliative care. Thanks to systematic and long-term sustainable support and development, their patients‘ last stages of life can be changed.
The goal of the program is to provide general practitioners with education and tools in the field of end-of-life care to improve its quality and accessibility.

Available services for independent living
Fulfilling the rights of people with disabilities to an independent life in the community.
Via increasing systematic pressure on relevant actors led by people with health disadvantages, their caregivers and committed professionals, we aim to create lasting positive changes regarding the availability of services.
Homesharing
Introducing the community service & Academy
Homesharing gives families of children with a disability an opportunity to share the care and get some rest, while the carers get to spend their time in a meaningful way.
After the pilot phase of introducing homesharing in two organizations and regions, the aim is to extend the concept of community care sharing to other regions and bring it to families of children with different kinds of disabilities. In addition to supporting field work, we strive for systemic anchoring of the service.
