Abstract:
The aging population in Curaçao faces challenges in receiving adequate care and support, both those living at home and those in nursing homes. The emigration of young adults has left many seniors without familial support, increasing feelings of loneliness and dependency on external care services. Due to the absence of a policy framework for preventive care for the elderly, elderly individuals in need of care do not automatically receive the care they are supposed to receive.
