Abstract
Social support networks in elderly customers receiving home support aid. The present paper analizes social support networks in elderly customers receiving home support aid. Deficits in autonomy and social support are hipothesized as triggering factors for this service. Social support in costumers (N=152) and in a normative sample (N=635) of elderly people is compared. Sociodemographic variables are added for a description of samples. Statistical significant differences are found both in sociodemographic and in social support network variables.
