Neuchâtel, 19.05.2011 (Obsan) - A new study from the Swiss Health Observatory on the future of care in old age shows that not only will there be a strong increase in the number of people in need of care; significant changes in the kind of help needed are also emerging. The demand for help and care services at home, from home care organisations such as Spitex, will rise. As a result, care in nursing homes will be required later in life than today and more often only towards the end of life.
