The reality of Family care for the elderly Person

Abstract

This study aims to detect the reality of family support for the elderly, which is distinguished by certain physical, psychological and social characteristics, and to reveal the most important obstacles that the family faces in the task of taking care of him. We have come to conclusions that different family members contribute to the care of their aging relative, but they are dependent on a single individual, often the son's wife, daughter or wife, which negatively affects their psychological condition and social, because of the difficulty they encounter in dealing with illnesses that require sponsorship long term.
