title: [The role of families when a relative enters a nursing home].
abstract: The role of the family is essential in the process of admitting someone to a nursing home in order to prevent the future resident from feeling abandoned. Elderly people are more likelyto adapt to their new environment when the family is involved in this choice and has guided them through the process.
