New col­lab­o­ra­tion to advance restora­tive care train­ing for old­er adults

GeroNurs­ing Cen­tre (GNC) and Hoi­vatie Oy have joined forces to lever­age local exper­tise and have signed a coop­er­a­tion agree­ment to launch a com­pre­hen­sive train­ing col­lab­o­ra­tion in 2026.

The part­ner­ship aims to pre­pare the staff of a new care home sched­uled to open in 2027 through advanced con­tin­u­ing edu­ca­tion focused on the restora­tive care of old­er adults. In addi­tion, the col­lab­o­ra­tion will pro­mote inno­va­tion, includ­ing the devel­op­ment of dig­i­tal solu­tions that sup­port restora­tive care and enhance the qual­i­ty of life of old­er adults.

This ini­tia­tive reflects a shared com­mit­ment to excel­lence in geron­to­log­i­cal care and to inte­grat­ing cut­ting-edge approach­es to meet the evolv­ing needs of an age­ing pop­u­la­tion.
