The increasing frailty and disability , together with the need of control the health budgets, clearly show that:

Public Assistance alone cannot be the sustainable and equal choice for everyone.

The situation calls for a CHANGE in HEALTH POLICY.

The home care model we deliver has to be an example

of a SOCIAL SECURITY CUSHION

able to integrate

HEALTH and SOCIAL ASSISTANCE and to accomplish

the increasingly complex needs of

Patients and their Families.

It claims the need of SYNERGY among

PUBLIC and NPOs.1
