The ageing of the population represents a critical challenge for healthcare and social care systems, necessitating a rethinking of care practices and professional training. The frailty of older individuals, particularly within residential settings, underscores the need for multidisciplinary approaches that transcend the traditional medical-care model. This study, conducted as part of a doctoral research project, investigates the competencies required to enhance the quality of care in residential care homes for the older people (Case Residenza per Anziani, CRA). Employing a mixed-methods methodology, the research identified the training needs of care staff and implemented an educational model aimed at strengthening professional competencies. The integration of personalised and multidimensional training pathways proved essential in promoting active ageing and the overall well-being of older people. The findings highlight the need for updated training policies, oriented towards personalised care and the reduction of restrictive practices.
