* What approach does the home help staff conduct towards the elderly addicted caretakers?

* Is there a preparedness among the home help staff when it comes to as to whether or not a care taker has an addiction issue or not?

When analysing the material we used a qualitative analytical method in order to understand the care givers treatment towards the addicted caretakers.

The result of the essay was that elderly addicted caretakers are an exposed group. Their autonomy are in some situations threatened. (Less)
