Abuse of older people
Vivofácil, a national leader in Home Care, has taken note of one of the most alarming news stories of the week. According to Francisco Sánchez del Corral, secretary of the Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology (SEGG), 16.4% of people over the age of 65 suffer neglect, and 7.7% are abandoned.
Most older people, being dependent on others, need care from other people. Usually, their own family members, mostly women, take care of them. However, this is often impossible due to the large-scale entry of women into the workforce, lack of time, long distances, and so on. For this reason, specialized caregivers are called upon to provide older people with the care they deserve.
Vivofácil, an organization specializing in Family Assistance and in Personal Services, makes it its highest priority to promote people’s quality of life through the highest quality of service. For this reason, it has its own nationwide network of professionals. At Vivofácil, we directly hire the professionals who provide the services, without outsourcing critical personal assistance processes or personalized in-home treatments and without franchises, thereby achieving full responsibility for the services provided. Vivofácil’s selection process is fully audited and monitored across all processes and work procedures by AENOR.
At Vivofácil we are deeply committed to helping dependent people and want everyone to receive dignified treatment. Therefore, we offer our customers effective services guaranteed 100%.
