Odense is facing a significant increase in the number of elderly citizens. Over the next 10 years, the number of citizens over the age of 80 is expected to increase by 45%, corresponding to approximately 3,800 more elderly citizens.<\/p>\n

This increases the pressure on home care, nursing home places and dementia care. At the same time, the municipality's finances are under pressure, which requires new and effective solutions to ensure sustainable elderly care.<\/p>\n

It is necessary to find innovative methods that can ensure both high quality and efficiency in care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The elderly care sector is facing a number of challenges, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • There is an increased need for nursing homes, dementia care places and home care<\/strong> to meet the needs of the elderly.<\/li>\n
  • Elderly citizens want greater self-determination<\/strong> in their care, while also wanting to maintain a high quality of life.<\/li>\n
  • There is pressure on municipal resources,<\/strong> which requires a sensible and targeted use of resources.<\/li>\n
  • Relatives want to play a greater role in care,<\/strong> and it is necessary to create better frameworks for their involvement.<\/li>\n
  • There is a need to optimize resources in elderly care<\/strong> through collaboration between public and private actors, as well as by removing bureaucracy that takes time away from core tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Summary<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    Liberal Alliance wants to create an elderly policy that ensures dignified, flexible and self-determined care for the elderly.<\/p>\n

    We will focus on individual care and choose solutions that take into account each person's life situation. At the same time, we must utilize technology, public-private partnerships and involve relatives to create more efficient and sustainable elderly care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Political proposals for elderly care<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
      \n
    1. Flexible and individualized care:<\/strong> The elderly must have the opportunity to choose between home care, nursing homes and activities that suit their individual needs. Care must be adapted to the individual's wishes.<\/li>\n
    2. Modernization of nursing homes and dementia care places:<\/strong> More modern nursing homes must be built, designed to meet the needs of the elderly, including the possibility for spouses to live together. More places for dementia care must also be established.<\/li>\n
    3. Strengthened home care and emergency team:<\/strong> Home care must be expanded so that more elderly people can remain in their own homes for as long as possible. An emergency team must be established that can quickly provide assistance when there is a need for urgent care and support.<\/li>\n
    4. Public-private partnerships:<\/strong> Odense must promote partnerships between public and private actors that can offer more choices and higher quality in care. It should also be possible for elderly people to choose to pay for additional services if they wish to do so.<\/li>\n
    5. Investment in welfare technology:<\/strong> New technologies must be implemented to improve working conditions in elderly care. This may include automation of administrative tasks, which will free up time for care tasks and make the work more efficient. For example, artificial intelligence can be used to monitor elderly people at night to prevent falls.<\/li>\n
    6. More local food:<\/strong> The individual nursing homes must decide whether they want locally prepared fresh food.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n
