The aging of the population is not synonymous with disease but, on the contrary, is a sign of good health, "It is an indicator of the improvement of global health. However, the loss of autonomy is a "normal" element of aging that must be taken into account by public authorities and caregivers. In spite of this dependence linked to old age and the difficulties that this may entail, the elderly have only one desire: to remain living at home as long as possible. If this is a choice that is respected, it is not a risk-free choice of life.
