Abstract
(en) [Chapter 3. Concretely enhancing the role of elderly through capacitating health care] This paper questions the signification of reinforcing the active role of elderly between societal injunction to feel responsible of the costs to the collectivity and the freedom to choose one’s way of life and having the means to realize it. It describes two experiences in two Brussels communes of a model of co-construction with the elderly of a project to live in one’s own home, to reinforce the active roles of persons. We want to illustrate the difficulty of such an approach in Belgium, separating the organization and the financing of medical and social care, that does not foster the accompanying and the active role of elderly. The conflict of interest between the different actors is not allowing the proper multidisciplinary approach to empower and allow the maintenance of elderly capability of choice and well being.
