ǂThe ǂmultidimensional concept of aging

addressing challenges and enabling participation in an aging society

Povzetek

As societies around the world face the challenges of aging populations, it becomes essential to explore the period of aging and identify opportunities and support mechanisms within the national framework. This article discusses the challenges faced by various professions in engaging older people in their daily activities and highlights the importance of providing options for local community support. By receiving daily assistance, older people can continue to actively participate in meaningful activities despite the limitations that come with age, illness, or injury, thus maintaining their sense of self-worth and ensuring a secure home environment. This multidimensional approach involves collaboration among formal and informal caregivers from diverse disciplines to enable older adults to age in place and live independently in their communities for as long as possible. While this approach brings immense benefits, it also presents unique challenges for all stakeholders involved in the care of older people.
