Second of all, [?] between Cuba and The United States regarding the elderly are the facilities where they live. In Cuba, for example, they have very little independence; they often live with other [?] members, such as a daughter, a son-in-law, and grandchildren. The roles of each family member are different; however, and sometimes the elderly are frustrated. In contrast, the United States offers a new [?] for this group in that there are facilities for them. For example, Century Village, where the elderly live together and help one another, provides a way for [?] to do their daily tasks such as grocery shopping and banking. The units where they live have been designed especially for their needs[?] for instance, these units have an alert panel to call emergency when it is necessary and the bathrooms are equipped for elderly with shower bars and seats.
