About the project

Compass

COMPASS is an initiative designed for care managers in aged-care services (residential, semi-residential and home care).

Its mission is to fill in a gap in the current training offer for managers and help them adapt their skills to provide person-centered care (PCC) leadership and to effectively support front-line workers in implementing PCC practices.

COMPASS is an Erasmus+ project developed by seven partners from six European countries: Italy, Portugal, Romania, Cyprus, Ireland and Spain.

The Compass project objectives are:  

Offer care managers the space and methodology to support reflection, reflexivity and learning from work-based experience about the application of PCC principles in their services.

Develop a network of professionals exercising this job at national level and willing to share a professional development process on how to promote PCC in their working contexts.

Develop a European Community of Practices of care managers and care workers on PCC for older persons aiming to: share experience and skills build a common language support the consolidation of a new professional vision on humanistic care
