Retirement homes in the 21st century
26 June 2009
With ageing retirement homes are back in the spotlights. In Belgium, 42% of people older than 85 live in a retirement home, compared to 21% for those older than 80 and 8% for those older than 65. This means that a majority of our seniors still lives at home where some of them receive help and care from social and medical services. In this publication from the King Baudouin Foundation, the authors describe the infrastructures and initiatives that already exist in the different Belgian regions. Based on a survey, the report presents some of the most innovative initiatives mentioned by the sector’s professionals.
