Looking back

Challenges:
Due to the diversity across territories in Trentino before implementing these services the new government has decided to support 3 pilots in the Trentino valleys starting January 2020 (the Val d’Adige Territory, at the Giudicarie and Primiero) This will slow the process but help better understand the needs of older people in the different settings.
