Abstract
- This article focuses on residential care for elderly people. Looking after older people is less fashionable than it was. A static and corporate society poses an appalling challenge, and older people, in some fashion more so than other groups, are miserably handicapped by its lack of human face and human scale. In the modern era, the demand for self-autonomy derives from the self-evident truths of the American Constitution and the liberty, equality and fraternity slogan of the French revolution. When there is no freedom to choose, there is no self-determination and the game is lost before the kick-off.
