Abstract

The text presented below is a summary of the test phase of the International project “4P – cross-sectoral policy initiative helping multigenerational families”. Two innovative solutions for the “sandwich generation” such as “combined care facility” and the “geriatric care manager” were introduced here. The solutions, described and tested on a group of 140 people, aim at solving family and professional problems of the so-called secondgeneration; that is the middle-aged people, being the actual caregivers for two dependant people originating from two extreme generations who are a child and an older person (parent or grandparent).
