Abstract

Social care at home for elderly people is now growing rapidly in France. A new question is, What are better forms of care for the different partners concerned? The research presented here, and made for the Comity of Lille Employment Area with cooperation of the Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladiede Lille (the local board of the national social security system), offers some answers to that question. Ceteris paribus, cultural activities—in a group or at home—versus others appear to produce more interest for elderly, professional caregivers, and the rest of society.
