The Group of Specialists on improving the Quality of Life of Elderly Dependent Persons (CS-QV) has examined all the aspects of the life of dependent elderly persons and given consideration to the needs of their close relatives who act as helpers/carers. The group has attached great importance to care systems (in particular for persons suffering from dementia), dependent elderly persons' integration in society, their participation in the life of the community and the prevention of dependence.

This report argues in favour of providing integrated, multi-disciplinary, fair and accessible services focusing on individuals and respecting their choices and preferences in a spirit of solidarity between the generation at family, local community and national levels.
