Supporting an informal care group - Social contacts and communication as important aspects in the psychosocial well-being of informal caregivers of older patients in Belgium.

Tailor-made support of informal care groups starts with facilitating and guiding a process to achieve consent within the group to optimise the care for the patient and also for the caregivers. With a shared vision and supported decisions, caregivers can enter into conversations with the professional caregiver to coordinate adjusted support regarding the care needs.
