One of the most important challenges facing Spanish Administrations today is the design and implementation of active aging policies.

The sensitization days launched by FADEMUR will focus on different topics of interest related to active and healthy aging, social services, dependency, care of caregivers, healthy eating, memory workshops;

And will be able to participate all those interested in the subject, as well as professionals of the social services, administrations and associations.

For FADEMUR Murcia "just as it happens in cities, where the elderly have a wide range of activities to stay active, the inhabitants of villages should have the same opportunity, more if possible, due to the high degree of aging of the population And the situations of solitude and isolation in which many live ";

"Active aging", he adds, "should be considered a primary objective of both society as a whole and policy makers"

It is also necessary to pay particular attention to the growing group of elderly people, especially women who, for various reasons, face their old age alone.

Although solitude as a way of life is recognized today as an indicator of undoubted competence, it is no less true that when it occurs in advanced ages and with few social and family networks, competition becomes a risk, sometimes very high , To which we must try to offer solutions.
