    • Community Health
    • Social Work

    Background:

    • Keeping the elderly in their homes requires multidisciplinary support.
    • General practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in coordinating care for aging in place.
    • Preventive strategies are vital in geriatric care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the GP's role in facilitating home care for the elderly.
    • To emphasize the importance of a comprehensive approach to geriatric home care.
    • To explore preventive measures for successful aging in place.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of the GP's role in coordinating social services (welfare, home-helps, financial aid).
    • Assessment of key factors influencing elderly home care: income, housing, health, and social well-being.
    • Emphasis on continuous, long-term support and individualized care networks.

    Main Results:

    • GPs are well-positioned to help patients prepare for old age due to their long-term relationship.
    • Analyzing income, housing, health, and social standards is crucial for prevention.
    • Adequate support networks can enable even highly dependent elderly individuals to remain at home.

    Conclusions:

    • A coordinated network of social services, managed by the GP, is essential for successful home care.
    • Proactive assessment and continuous support are key to enabling the elderly to age in place.
    • Geriatric care should prioritize prevention and comprehensive support to maintain quality of life at home.
