The main objective of this paper is to introduce the concept of “avoidable displacement from home” (ADH). The study argues that ADH builds on and adds value to existing concepts, offering a holistic, person-centered framework for integrated health and social care provision for older people. It also demonstrates that this framework can be applied across different levels, ranging from macro policymaking to organizational and individual decision-making. The paper pays attention to the Brazilian context but argues that ADH is a universally applicable concept.e00162819enThis is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/AgedIntersectoral CollaborationComprehensive Health CareHumanizationArticle
