Abstract: (1241 Views)
Today, with the increase in the elderly population and life expectancy, the need to use care services for this significant part of the population is increasing [1]. Beliefs, cultures, and social norms among different ethnicities and races are vital in the extent and nature of care. Two types of care exist, informal and formal. According to statistics by the Secretariat of the National Council on Aging, almost 0.2% of the elderly receive formal care. Therefore, a significant percentage of the elderly live with their families.
