Description

Les orientations présentent la toile de fond qui permettra de situer l’ensemble des actions qui doivent être entreprises au cours des prochaines années pour adapter les services aux besoins des personnes âgées en perte d’autonomie. Il s’agit d’engagements ministériels qui aideront à faire les choix qui s’imposent pour:

• Mieux répondre aux besoins des aînés atteints d’incapacité, en révisant l’organisation des services offerts et en adaptant les pratiques.
• Disposer d’un cadre permettant d’assurer la cohérence entre les différentes mesures organisationnelles et administratives adoptées dans ce secteur.
• Faire face à l’accroissement de la demande liée à l’augmentation rapide du nombre de personnes âgées et disposer d’une gamme de services flexibles, adaptés à la complexité des besoins.

This guideline presents the background of all the actions to be undertaken over the next few years to adapt services to the needs of older people. It includes departmental commitments that will help make the right choices to:

• Better meet the needs of seniors with disabilities, revise the organization of services and adapt practices.
• Provide a framework to ensure consistency between the different organizational and administrative measures taken in this area.
• Cope with the increasing demand due to the rapid increase in the number of old people and have a range of flexible services tailored to the complex needs.
