We have that system where elders can stay in their home. Some local associations provide them “services at home”, from twice a week to each day (depends on their means) to clean their home, make their purchases, ironing… meals. The cost also depends on their revenues (based on the Taxes office’s) health cares are also provided by nurses. Only if you need some heavy assistance like artificial respiration… you get to be transferred to Hospital. This system is very appreciated by the elders, also it costs less to the community than if these persons were in hospices or hospital. The Families are happy, cuz they have less obligations and worries. Until now, I haven’t heard anyone to complain about it.
Also it is creating employment, for women that are freed from breeding their offspring and without any particular qualification.
