Considering the increasing life expectancy of people with intellectual disabilities (ID), the importance of cooperation between services for people with ID and elderly care services has been stressed in Flanders and the Netherlands, as well as internationally. However, the prevalence, intensity and content of such a cooperation are yet unknown. In order to gain information to address this issue, an online-survey was delivered to directors of all nursing homes in Flanders (n = 781). 229 surveys were completed.In more than 75% of the nursing homes, people with ID were among the residents over the past decade. However, at the same time a lack of expertise has been identified as a barrier to provide them optimal care and support. Hence, the respondents point out that a cooperation with ID care services could be beneficial. Nevertheless, those partnerships only arose in a quarter of the nursing homes so far, primarily for the purpose of exchange of expertise. Intersectoral multidisciplinary consultations and intersectoral care team consultations have been taking place as well, be it mainly in the context of a persons' transition from an ID care service to a nursing home. Until now, radical cooperations which involve an exchange of staff, seem to be rather rare.
考虑到智障人士预期寿命的增加，在佛兰德、荷兰以及国际上，都强调了智障人士服务与老年护理服务之间合作的重要性。然而，这种合作的普遍性、强度和内容尚不清楚。为了获取解决此问题的信息，我们向佛兰德所有养老院的院长开展了一项在线调查（n = 781）。共完成了229份调查问卷。在超过75%的养老院中，智障人士在过去十年里一直是其居民群体的一部分。然而，与此同时，缺乏专业知识被认为是为他们提供最佳护理和支持的障碍。因此，受访者指出与智障护理服务机构合作可能会有所助益。尽管如此，到目前为止，这些合作仅在四分之一的养老院中出现，主要目的是进行专业知识交流。跨部门多学科咨询和跨部门护理团队咨询也已开展，不过主要是在智障人士从智障护理服务机构过渡到养老院的背景下进行。到目前为止，涉及人员交流的深度合作似乎相当少见。
