Housing for the elderly: building a home.

With the growing elderly population, communities are facing challenges related to dependency—particularly housing—and must therefore find solutions to enable seniors to remain in their homes and create living spaces tailored to their needs. In the first case, we must address issues of social isolation and the risk of accidents. In the second case, which involves significant economic interests, there are challenges regarding social investment to ensure these spaces are accessible to all. A charter for dependent individuals, established by the F.N.G., should help prevent abuses by protecting their basic rights.
