Abstract

The complex aging process approached within the scope of the pandemic crisis, which disrupted the functioning of the whole society, has enhanced distintive approaches to health care strategiesin aging. The Holy Mercy House of Marco de Canaveses (SCMMC), a Social Economy Institution, in response to the future challenges in social health in aging, through the joint articulation of health/social care, has provided a set of innovation in the humanization and availability of specialized heath care for the senior population, centered on the person and based on the relationship. Through different projects under development, a perspective of innovation, communication and empowerment emerges, supported by the use of new technologies (teleconsultation). During its course, it will allow an integrative approach in health-social responses, creating adaptive planning and an evolutionary development, personalized to the situation of the old person, providing an adequate time-schedule application and long-term development.
