Long-Term Care

The network includes 266 Korian medicalised nursing homes, organised to offer long-term care, short-term care and, in some cases, day care. Medical care is now an important aspect of the activity of these facilities (which often have protected living units), where many residents suffer from a neurodegenerative disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Âges & Vie shared houses represent the shared living business in France. These single-storey homes are made up of eight studios and a communal living area, and are staffed by care assistants. These human-scale shared solutions meet a need that has been poorly covered in rural areas until now. Shared housing enables autonomous elderly people to maintain ties with their loved ones and to remain in a familiar environment. They also help to combat loneliness.
