title: Project for the development of an ambulatory and semi-ambulatory community center for the third age.
abstract: The aim of this project is to establish an ambulatory and semi-ambulatory community care center for the elderly. We intend to keep the elderly on their own homes for as long as possible while at the same time minimizing the cost of caring for them, maintaining their autonomy, and permitting them to live and die with dignity in their own homes. The present paper outlines the principles of organizing this new institution and its working conditions.
