title: [Family carers, dependent elderly people and access to care].
abstract: The issue of carers of dependent elderly people is of significant importance in our present day society. Mobilised and committed, they are responsible for the elderly person's dignity and care sometimes risking burnout or a tendency to inappropriate treatment. This informal help must be adapted to avoid such potential problems. The delegation of tasks must remain the responsibility of qualified professionals.
