Our FOcus

Access to services and social life

for elderly people with reduced mobility

is often difcult and/or unsafe.

POssIbLE sTrATEGIEs

Decentralize services.

Effective, not necessarily efcient.

No increase in social contact. May be expensive.

Group services.

Convenient for those who live closeby,

inconvenient for those who live far away.

Mobilize services.

Only some facilities can be mobile.
