About I-CCC
The I-CCC Project is a three-year project running from November 2020 until October 2023 funded by the European Commission and co-funded by the Austrian Development Agency. It aims to pilot 6 novel community care centers in Austria, Serbia and Montenegro to support people in need of care and informal carers offering diverse activities as well as counselling. Further, it is planned to set up a new volunteer-based service for people with dementia and cognitive impairments. By strengthening community-based services the I-CCC project seeks to contribute to national policy reforms in long-term care.
Community Care Centers
The Community Care Centers (CCC) aim to provide integrated services on local level to maintain functional capacities of older people, foster healthy ageing and support informal carers. Network activities with various partners in the field of long-term care and health care is another focus of the CCC.
