In Italy, a significant financial investment is currently underway for home care services for elderly people who are not self-sufficient. Home care assistance has been present since the establishment of the National Health Service, but this system is not without its weaknesses and critical issues. However, the new resources dedicated to this type of care aim only to increase the number of people receiving assistance at home. Without improvements in service, there is a risk of providing insufficient and unequal care to a growing number of people.

Abstract
In Italy, a significant financial investment is currently underway for home care services for elderly people who are not self-sufficient.

However, the new resources dedicated to this type of care aim only to increase the number of people receiving assistance at home. Without improvements in service, there is a risk of providing insufficient and unequal care to a growing number of people.File in questo prodotto:
