In a society characterized by the presence of a rapid demographic aging, it is required an adequate organization of health resources for the purpose of meeting the needs of elderly people. With this main idea, we analyze the distribution of nursing homes and adult day care centers in Extremadura and study if the supply of nursing homes and adult day care is enough to cover the needs of dependent elderly population in our region. The purpose is to classify which is the real demand and supply in this residential care and detect possible irregularities to propose an acceptable balance between supply and demand in the health care.
