Abstract

In this chapter, an investigation was conducted into the European Union (EU), home care services, organization, and scope of home care in European Union countries. In the 21st century, increasing life expectancy and decreasing fertility rates have led to demographic change in the EU. This has profound implications for a range of areas, including the economy, health systems and pensions, and in particular has deepened the need for home care. The absence of comprehensive, EU-wide legislation pertaining to home care services engenders considerable variation in the implementation of home care practices across member states. This variation is attributable to a range of factors, including the health system structures, financing models, and cultural approaches of each country. In the EU, home care services are structured in a manner that integrates the “health” subsystem into the healthcare system and the “social” subsystem into the social system.
