Mayabeque, Cuba: The care for the elderly is a priority in the municipality of San Nicolás, which provides an old age state with high levels of health well-being and a life expectancy of more than 80 years for both sexes.
Raising the quality of life and the level of satisfaction of the vulnerable group are also priorities that are monitored through promotional actions and collaboration with the community.
According to Dr. Araibis Dávila Suárez, municipal director of public health, this age group receives differentiated care from the psychological and social point of view because these individuals go through different stages.
The Grandparents House is another of the programs aimed at the care and protection of the elderly.
