The caregiver amidst legal protection, communication and lifestyle

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to point out to the reader how what is defined in the text as a category, i.e. that of caregivers, has become in recent years a category that the legislator must take increasingly into consideration in order to improve their lifestyle. The draft law 1461 of 2019, reaffirms the social and economic value of the care activity carried out by the family caregiver already provided for in Law no.205 of 27 December and introduces some elements such as: the appointment, notional contributions and social security protection, benefits in the social sector and possible tax deductions, conciliation between assistance and work, concessions in the social sector and possible tax deductions and finally, access to benefits, all useful elements to characterize their role.
Considering then that the caregiver is subjected to a physical activity made up of habitual and routine movements, the use of a specific and adequate instrumentation that, in relation to age, helps to improve the conditions and lifestyle.
The article is a moment of reflection for a category in need of regulatory protection, a category that silently awaits comfort, recognition and protection from the legislator, a category subject to strong oxidative stress, which needs to understand how to relate and communicate with the sick person or with the disabled person who cares, and that when he does, he is able to do it through experience and not through special training courses which he would be in dire need of.
