The CARE surveys (Survey on the capacities, aids and resources of elderly people) carried out by DREES with the support of the CNSA (French National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy), aim to gain a better understanding of the living conditions of elderly people, their relationships with their families and friends, their difficulties in carrying out certain activities of daily living, and the financial and human assistance they receive to help them to overcome these difficulties. These surveys, which are compulsory, concern people aged 60 or over, regardless of their state of health and where they live, as well as the relatives who provide them with support.
CARE-Ménages or household focuses on seniors living at home. To better understand this theme, the CARE-Ménage survey has two parts: a questionnaire for seniors and another for caregivers.
-The "Seniors" section of the CARE-Ménages or household survey focuses on the living conditions of the elderly, their relationships with their family and friends, their difficulties in carrying out certain activities of daily living and the financial and human assistance they receive to overcome these difficulties.
-The "Caregiver" section of the CARE-Ménages or household survey focuses on the caregivers of the family (spouse, family, friend, neighbor, etc.), who regularly provide a senior citizen with either assistance in performing daily life activities, or moral support, or financial or material assistance, due to the age or health problem of the senior citizen. It thus completes the information on dependent persons collected in the "Seniors" section, for persons living at home.
