A broad spectrum of research work and grants focuses on the holistic approach to senior care, with an emphasis on the area of long-term care in its broadest sense. The Chamber, supported by the active participation of its members, makes every effort to ensure that the implemented research and projects are characterized by unique and innovative aspects and their implementation has a direct impact on improving the welfare of the residents of care facilities.
The implemented projects cover the areas of medicine, psychology, social sciences, as well as those of economic nature and related to the broadly understood IT industry.
