Question 9514 — elderly people

Summary

Ms. Constance de Pélichy draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the difficulties encountered by many rural communities in organizing home delivery of meals for the elderly. In the Loiret department, several mayors point out that this service, although essential to keeping the elderly at home and combating the isolation of the elderly, cannot be implemented due to lack of financial and human resources. In fact, rural communities do not have the staff or structures necessary to ensure the preparation and delivery of meals on their own. Intermunicipal or associative solutions, when they exist, do not cover the entire territory, leaving certain residents without a response adapted to their needs. If the financing of meals can partly be covered by the personalized autonomy allowance (APA) or by pension funds, the burden of logistical organization (vehicles, salaries, coordination) rests very largely on the municipalities, which often do not have the means to assume it. This situation creates a worrying territorial inequality: depending on the place of residence, an elderly person may or may not have access to this vital service. Also, she asks him what are the measures that the The Government intends to support rural communities in the implementation of meal delivery, in order to guarantee all elderly people, regardless of their place of residence, equitable access to this essential service for staying at home and maintaining dignity.
