Together Towards Collaborative Care
We are intensifying our collaboration with research groups at Fontys and Avans universities. This has led to the Samenzorg project. In this project, the concept of "collaborative care" is explored—focusing on cooperation between informal and formal care within the Epilepsy Residential Care Center at Kempenhaeghe. The perspectives of care recipients, their families, volunteers, community members, and healthcare professionals are highlighted.
Key questions addressed in the project include: What can a care recipient still do themselves? What can the family or social network contribute? What tools can be used? And what can the healthcare professionals do? The goal is not only to make care sustainable but also to ensure that care is person-centered, focusing on the individual's needs and preferences.
