Resumen
En los últimos años, debido al gran incremento de la esperanza de vida y como resultado del progresivo envejecimiento de la ciudadanía, las personas en situación de dependencia, ya sea por causa de la edad, enfermedad o discapacidad, demandan nuevas medidas que respeten y garanticen sus derechos, para llevar una vida lo más independiente posible, respetando sus decisiones, sus intereses y su trayectoria vital. Esta situación provoca una serie de demandas que deben ser atendidas desde todos los ámbitos sociales.
Por ello, a través de este trabajo se pretende identificar, analizar y visibilizar los nuevos paradigmas de atención a personas mayores dependientes, dando respuesta a las necesidades identificadas, teniendo en cuenta la potenciación de sus capacidades mantenidas y garantizando la mayor calidad de vida y bienestar de este colectivo, además de atender a su idiosincrasia y a su heterogeneidad, es decir, centrándose por tanto en la persona y proporcionando un envejecimiento activo, digno y positivo.
