There is an increased demand for care systems for the elderly that had been attended to a few years ago by relatives, women in particular.

At present, various formal devices for care and attention to the needs of the elderly have been created, generating a gradual defamiliarization and growing articulation between formal and informal systems. The present work presents the testimony of relatives of elderly people who have found in these devices a resource that they value as a factor of shift in the elderly people´s life  and who, in the absence of such benefits, believe that their quality of life would deteriorate. a significant decline in their social life.
