2) What is the aftercare like in hospitals - we have heard that they give excellent treatment but then afterwards don't give any help at all, leaving the family to look after the patient. Is this true, and/or does private exist?

Also, where would be the best climate is Spain that is warm (but not boiling), not too windy, and dry all of the year round?

Many many thanks!!!!
