Really good session at BSG2024 today comparing different countries' approaches to home care provision for older people in Global South. Importance of training, liaison with health services & gaining acceptance for non-family care BSG_Global_South_SIG

Excellent talk on the US. Make it clear that HICs have much to learn from LMICs when huge swathes of the population are trapped in precarious, low paid work, unemployment, extended wait-hoods, poor infrastructure and work-till-you-drop approaches to health & later life incomes.

Our home visit pilot showed that community volunteers' visits to housebound older people help extend basic healthcare, provide guidance and moral support to family carers and addresses the invisibility of dependence and care. BSG_Global_South_SIG HelpAge Asia Pacific
