Abstract

Population ageing together with the increased prevalence and incidence of chronic and disabling conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, and the growing demand for Long-Term Care pose a manifest challenge to the current health and social welfare systems. Particularly to the so-called informal care system, the family. Alzheimer's disease entails a new and stressful situation for the family that may interrupts the logic of the family life course and modify the normal functioning of the group. Hence not only the person affected but the whole family unit should be considered as the object of professional care. The article offers a brief reflection on the adoption of an inclusive, positive and systemic care approach, focused on the family unit, and directed to address the strengths and competences of the family and not only their difficulties.
