They have no family network to care for them at home, no nursing home, and no long-term care facility. So they're kept in the hospital.
A gigantic waste of money, "millions of euros every year," says Francesco Agus, leader of the Progressive Party in the Regional Council: there are over 70 of them every day in the greater Cagliari area, and about 50 in the Sassari area. And they cost 450 euros every 24 hours.
