There is no extensive formal care provision or system supporting family carers in Poland. The cohabiting family plays a major role in organizing support for the elderly. Nevertheless, the family carers are not perceived as natural partners for both medical and social services. As a result, caring for the elderly often brings additional costs for the family and restrictions to work and income. This book presents the legal status and social situation of family carers in Poland, explains the range of services available and the possibilities to use help adapted specially for this group.

Developing appropriate responses to an ageing population is recognized by policy makers throughout the developed world as a top priority, as is the vital contribution made by family caregivers. However, cultural, demographic and organizational differences between countries have encouraged diverse patterns of response to this common challenge. This book provides a systematic cross-cultural analysis of contemporary patterns and future trends in all major countries of the European Union. Additional interest is provided by including Poland emerging from the post- Communist block as the country at the forefront for joining the European Union. The book should be useful to European policy makers and academies involved in studying the health and social care needs of older people and the capacity, contribution and needs of family caregivers who provide care to older people. The book is also relevant for policy makers and researchers in other countries, mostly in North America and Australia who wish to study European approaches to supporting older people and family caregivers.

Norway is a high-service country with a wide range of community services. In the public opinion the welfare state is the prime source of care for elderly, supported by the family. Norwegian families provide practical as well personal care, however slightly less than in countries with a more family dominated care system. The total level of help is high, however. Family carers are important both in care giving and care administration. To secure individualised user-oriented services, the family perspective and co-operation between the informal and formal care systems are of uttermost importance.
