Basic Education by Mahatma Gandhi[19] and Education for liberation by Paulo Freire[20] aims to develop the whole personality. The accommodation, adequate supply and health care of political refugees needs to offer psychosocial services. The elderly entering in a retirement home needs to protect their personal and social identity[21] and the support of elderly handicaps in a nursing home require's quality management.
