[Elderly caregivers of elderly people].

Abstract

The ageing of the population is a reality in our society nowadays. The aging process changes increase the probability that health problems occur. This fact involves that the needs of care demanded by the population increase too. The care for the elderly generally are provided in home environments, where often, the primary caregiver is another old person. In this sense, must be taken into account that this stage of life, the old age, although there has been important improvements in the quality of life and in the resolution of health problems, presents certain limitations refers to physical and mental declines that affect to the functional capacity of elderly caregivers. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive geriatric assessment to identify unresolved needs and establish care strategies required to attend their demands for care.
