The objective of this project is to support the implementation of the ongoing reform of the long-term care (LTC) system in Slovenia. The European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research will facilitate the co-design of change processes in LTC delivery, monitor the progress of the reform, and offer strategic advice to decision-making and implementation processes across critical areas, namely needs assessment procedures, equitable and integrated service provision as well as coordinated change to ensure smooth transitions and a joint effort towards shared goals. EU experts will involve all relevant stakeholders to support the implementation of the LTC Act-1 in Slovenia and to ensure its adherence to key European strategies — namely principle 18 of the European Pillar of Social Rights, which affirms the right to affordable high-quality LTC, and the related European Care Strategy.
