Local Press: UAE care for elderly marks welfare spirit
ABU DHABI, 6th May, 2021 (WAM) When people grow old, their whole life undergoes a radical change.

A good number of them would, particularly Americans, prefer to age in their own home than a paid-for abode for the elderly, according to the late March survey from The Associated Press-NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research.
