5. Raising dependency Where do elderly people want to live? At home (78,8%) With relatives (14%) In an institution (2,5%) [SESPAS, 2004] What is the most beneficial situation? Institution residents have many much more serious health problems than elderly people who live independently, and they have much less access to the resources that would allow them to continue living independently with such health problems. [SCPON, 1994]
