Together in Line, the Power of Informal Care in Group

"The intervention, offered to the older civilians and their informal care groups will consist of a updated version of the 'Keuzewijzer'. This is a self-management tool which stimulates the communication within the informal care groups to make behaved choices concerning the care for the older civilian, taking into account the standards, values, concerns and needs of every informal caregiver and older civilian. The most important value of this intervention is the approachability and the structured, but adjusted manner of support, focused on the individual context of care with their specific needs.~The 'Keuzewijzer' is an online tool whereby, in conversation with the informal care group and older civilian, the following aspects will be discussed in the context of the care for the older civilian: 1) analyzing the problem, 2) detection of possibilities or alternatives, 3) clarifying of motives and feelings and 4) weighting between values."
