Combating end-of-life abuse at home
End-of-life abuse at home remains under-reported: homecare professionals who don't dare; professionals and caregivers exhausted to the point of abuse; a lack of training in end-of-life support... And the imminent death of a loved one remains a psychological and social unthinkable. How can we curb this phenomenon in a context where the law of April 8, 2024 on measures to build a society of good ageing and autonomy makes the fight against abuse a priority? Quid de la maltraitance en fin de vie: les dispositifs actuels sont peu applicable dans le contexte de la fin de vie.
