Abstract

In the year 2020 died 129 000 people in the Czech Republic and more than 16,5 % being residents of nursing homes (ÚZIS 2021; ČSÚ 2020). That gave us the impulse for designing a two-year program to enhance the accessibility of palliative care in this type of care (first program finished 12/2022, second program has stared 1/2023).

The program provided extensive education, mentoring and individual financial support to the 15 nursing homes in each program.
