title: [Legal aspects of home care and placing of the elderly].
abstract: Welfare policies for the elderly have mainly been developed since 1945 in order to secure an adequate income and social cover and to reduce inequality in health (Social Security plan for all, old-age benefits for the poor, increase of old-age pensions, creation of supplementary benefits, etc.). But only a few years ago various services for the elderly remaining at home have been created, and they remain a matter of great concern for the government. Many legal texts concerning socio-economic measures to help and favour people who wish to remain at home have been published in order to delay as long as possible admission of the elderly to medical establishments. Further, legal protection systems look after the interests of physically and/or mentally disabled people who are unable to do it themselves and to cope with their property.
