Sozialraumagenturen in der Langzeitpflege

Social space-oriented long-term care has long been called for, but has often failed to be implemented effectively. At the same time, the fragmented German long-term care system is under pressure to reform itself. This book presents agency models of social capital genesis and social space development as an infrastructural approach to the reform of long-term care. Based on a social space-oriented view of social policy, the book presents the conceptual foundations of social capital and network development as well as the welfare-mix idea in the context of caring communities. Using the example of the KDA project ‘Promotion of Civic Engagement through Care Support Points’, the author reflects on the agency model and then places his results in the current discourse on reform.
