While the government announced, following the Ehpad Orpea scandal, a "establishment control plan", there are not many accommodation alternatives for dependent elderly people.
Especially when they suffer from disabling health problems.
Françoise's family, suffering from Alzheimer's, has fortunately found a solution: the 92-year-old lady now lives... with a roommate.
A more suitable and friendly place
It is obviously not a classic joint tenancy since if the collective accommodation is occupied by Françoise, Salvatore and Marie-Pierre (all three Alzheimer patients), they are constantly assisted by carers, one of they are even present "6 nights a week, according to a system of "rent against service"".
Françoise, she found her joy of living after a bad experience in Ehpad: “It was not at all suitable for mom, remembers Sophie, her daughter.
Here, she is both physically safe, because there is surveillance, and mentally, because she is reassured”.
