Advantages of living in a nursing home

 Nowadays it is common to use nursing homes as an option when it comes to caring for our elders. In the last ten years, the number of elderly people living in residences has almost tripled, from some 96,000 people in 2001 to more than 270,000 in 2011, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics.

However, it seems that the use of nursing homes for the care of the elderly is something that is stigmatized. It is still difficult to make people understand that not having time to take care of them is normal, and that sending them to a residence or a day center is not getting rid of them or disengaging ourselves, but rather providing much better care than we could give them at home.
