The present article provides a critical analysis of the state of affairs of the care of dependent individuals and proposals for reform of social protection systems for dependency - especially the Act of Promotion of Personal Autonomy and Long-Term Care.

Against this background, a series of recommendations are made to achieve the goals of this important component of the welfare state.
