Description: Contrasts care of the aged in Canada with Denmark. Stresses the importance of independance for the elderly. The Danish approach is illustrated as a model: combined shelter, nursing care and total care facilities. The film appraises the limited choices available to old people in North America, emphasizing a desparate need for alternatives to present institutional care. The Danish situation offers one solution : the integration of old people into the community; the move away from large scale homes for the aged.-
