<p>Dear all, <br>
</p>
<p>You may remember I mentioned at our last meeting that we were
launching a survey on experiences, attitudes, and expectations on
long-term care as part of another project. The survey has
officially launched! Please find further details below. It would
be much appreciated if you could circulate this within your
network! The survey is available in 8 languages (EN, DE, ES, FR,
MK, NL, RO, SQ).</p>

<p>As one of the Austrian partners and the coordinator of the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.euro.centre.org/projects/detail/3876">InCARE
project</a> (co-funded by the European Union), the European
Centre for Social Welfare Policy & Research is inviting you
to share your point of view through a survey on experiences,
attitudes, and expectations on long-term care. We also hope for
your support in disseminating the survey to ensure as many
people as possible are given the opportunity to express their
views.</p>
<p><b>What is this survey about?</b><br>
We would like to understand how people view care for older
people with support needs. How do they want those close to them
or themselves to be looked after, should they need it? What are
their experiences with receiving or providing care? And what are
their expectations for the future?</p>
<p><b>What is the purpose of this study?</b><br>
Findings from this study will be used to raise awareness of the
challenges faced by older people with care needs and their
families, and to advocate for policies that can support them. We
will also use the results to directly inform the design of
socially innovative long-term care service pilots in 3 European
countries. <br>
</p>
<p><b>How can you contribute?</b><br>
• If you are able and willing to contribute, you can answer
the survey directly <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://lse.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6nc3RoO51iB0Bng">here</a>.
This should not take more than 20 minutes of your time. <br>
• We would be grateful if you could disseminate the survey as
widely as possible within your own network, by sharing this link

<p>Ensuring all those who need it have access to high quality,
affordable long-term care, in particular home-care and
community-based services, is a major challenge throughout Europe
and at the global level. Policy debates are ongoing on how to
shape long-term care systems in the future: it is essential that
people are given a voice and this survey will contribute to it.</p>
<p>We thank you very warmly in advance for your cooperation and
remain at your entire disposal for any further information.</p>
<p>Kindest regards, <br>
Cassandra Simmons on behalf of the InCARE team<br>
