Support & Enable

VELUX Foundation

Innovative solutions for healthy ageing

The VELUX Stiftung supports our ERNA project within its Healthy Ageing funding line. Thanks to this funding, we strengthen person-centred collaboration between family members and staff in long-term care facilities.

Together for healthy ageing

This support enables us to test practice-based research approaches that contribute to long-term improvements in care quality in long-term care.
It also allows us to evaluate a person-centred care model and implement findings directly into everyday care practice.
