Abstract

Social and medical precariousness is frequent among the elderly. It is more pronounced in some marginal or migrant populations. Difficulties in accessing care may be linked to the inability to communicate via the French language. It is possible to recall the principles of French law that are the foundations of human dignity.

Keywords: care; dignity; dignité; droit; geriatrics; gériatrie; law; migrant; precariousness; précarité; soin.
