Summary: Dependent people, caregivers and professionals, agree that treating well is:
treat with affection, patience, humor, respect and humanity, favor communication and autonomy, negotiate interventions, accompany and integrate the dependent in family life, involve the family in the care and take care of the caregiver. Dependent people emphasize value of not feeling alone, relating and “leaving home”. Elements appear in all three speeches that facilitate or challenge good treatment: the family, the character of the dependent, the type and evolution of dependency, resources, institutions and professionals. Challenges for professionals are the lack of time and legal support and inequity in care. Match the hardness of care and the physical and psychological overload that it entails, but only the dependents speak of the hardness of being cared for, of the fear of the evolution of the disease and the limitations that they generate. The representation of all these messages are included in the elaboration of the short film that focuses on the importance of valuing the primary caregiver, and to listen to the needs of the dependent person.
