Abstract:

The work removes the readera position, generally, of avoidance in the face of thinking about its weaknesses and limitations arisingits greater longevity. It brings up issues that societies imprudently postpone, such as the urgent construction of public policies capable of adapting spaces, communities and people to a world that will live longer so that they also live better. It looks at the need for adequate training of caregivers of the elderly, in addition to demonstrating their physical, psychological, financial, social and professional recognition shortcomings. It addresses the problemthe perspective of those who care and those who are cared for, offering a valuable tool for perceiving the anxieties and challenges of those involved in such a peculiar care relationship. It presents proposals for the care of dependent elderly people and calls on the State, society and families to build and implement measures that guarantee greater protection and quality of life for the elderly. For all these reasons, the book leads to a restless, but necessary and delayed reflection.
