This report (36 pages) examines the experience of unpaid caregivers regarding the accessibility, affordability and quality of long-term care (LTC) services in Europe. Included are recommendations on how organizations and policymakers can develop interventions to improve the interrelationship between informal carers, care recipients and professional care workers.
The findings reported in the paper are based on data collected as part of the InCARE survey on LTC attitudes, experiences and expectations among caregivers and their loved ones. The data were collected through an online survey of over 1,300 people from September 2021 to March 2022.
A random sampling method was used to collect the data online. Given the sample’s limited representativeness, the results should be interpreted with caution.
