The demand for elderly care is global and growing, constituting a public health problem that Chile, like most countries, is not prepared to face. An overwhelming percentage of older people want to grow old at home, in their family and social environment, but they have almost no alternatives. Informal care by their own families, complemented by home services from a variety of providers, is the norm. Situ is a pioneer in the country in providing long-term care services at home, giving people support to live at home autonomously and safely for as long as possible. The service it offers is comprehensive, providing geriatric guidance and the possibility of finding the necessary solutions (whether medical or social) in one place. Some of the issues that characterize Situ are: -Dedication exclusively to seniors. -The team combines training and experience for a quality service based on scientific evidence, which is supported by references and testimonials. -It offers a wide range of services, including care from certified geriatricians and social services such as caregivers and transfers, through packages. -It provides a geriatric case manager, a clinical professional who actively monitors each elderly person, providing guidance and assistance, as well as coordinating the necessary solutions according to the specific needs of each patient and/or family. -He has extensive experience: in less than 3 years, he has provided more than 100,000 hours of home care to some 1,700 families in 92 municipalities in the country. Finally, Situ has been recognized as an innovative contribution to care by initiatives such as Piensa en Grandes, Startup Chile and various scaling-up programs, highlighting the contribution it is making to addressing aging, a major national issue.
