Difference Between a Nursing Home and a Retirement Home
A retirement home is an establishment for elderly people. The difference between a nursing home (EHPAD) and a retirement home is whether it is medicalised or not.
Retirees choosing Tunisia benefit from an 80% tax reduction on all amounts sent to Tunisia, covering both home fees and personal expenses.
For French and European citizens in general, you need a valid passport (minimum 3 months) and we then take care of preparing the residence permit for long-term stays.
Different Types of Retirement Homes in Tunisia
The general term “retirement home” encompasses a range of establishments in which it is important to distinguish between the various forms of accommodation for elderly people.
Senior residences are classified into three distinct categories: medicalised nursing homes (EHPAD), which include Alzheimer’s units, retirement homes for people with slight loss of autonomy, and service residences for autonomous elderly people. Retirement homes are able to provide tailored services and accommodate both temporary and long-term residents.
Finding a retirement home that matches the different needs and requirements of your elderly loved one can be a long and tedious task. That is why our retirement home in Tunisia offers a guide to help you choose the retirement home that meets your needs and requirements.
Our retirement home advisors in Tunisia will provide you with more details about these types of accommodation. To help you choose your residence, we will guide you through the criteria to consider (health status of your parent, services offered, reviews from our current residents). You will find the residence that best suits you at our retirement home in Tunisia and, if necessary, you can benefit from assistance such as the tax advantages of residing in a retirement home in Tunisia.

Rest and Short Stays at the Tunisia Retirement Home
We offer rest stays of any duration. Whether for a month or more, let us provide you or your loved one with a safe and welcoming home for recovery after surgery or during care stays. Our short-term residents enjoy all the benefits and amenities that our long-term residents receive.
Many elderly people realise they need healthcare. Their move to a retirement home may be precipitated by a health crisis or a growing awareness of health vulnerabilities. Medication administration, nursing staff, alternative aids such as massage therapy and even fitness centres are among the healthcare needs catered for at our Tunisia retirement home.
Some elderly people hide some of their personal care needs or simply deny needing help with transport, mobility or other personal care. At our Tunisia retirement home, this specialised assistance is easily accessible.
No More Burden of Household Chores in a Private Retirement Home in Tunisia
No more housework, no more cooking, no more gardening… In short, all the services of a hotel. It is almost too much freedom for some. Others compare it to the feeling of leaving home to move into their first-year university hall of residence.
Providing Better Care for Dependent People with Alzheimer’s Disease
Keeping an elderly person with Alzheimer’s disease at home is a real battle. In the advanced stages of the disease, the elderly person can no longer manage on their own at home without putting their personal safety at risk.
A retirement home is generally the safest solution. It offers comprehensive care in an appropriate environment, especially if you choose a retirement home with a unit specialising in Alzheimer’s disease.
The care team in our Tunisia retirement home’s Alzheimer’s units is trained to provide the best possible support, but also to support families.
Despite the fact that retirement home care can be costly, it is reassuring for family members who cannot take on all the necessary care tasks alone for a loved one with severe loss of autonomy. Therefore, family members should not feel guilty when they can no longer leave the elderly person alone at home, and Alzheimer’s care in a retirement home becomes safer and the most reassuring solution.
Choose the Specialised Alzheimer’s Disease Home in Tunisia
A medicalised retirement home provides sufficient care for people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. People with dementia may not have many medical problems at this stage, but they need more intensive support for instrumental activities of daily living (ADL), including activities we perform every day that improve our quality of life. Instrumental activities of daily living are normal activities that we must accomplish daily. People with Alzheimer’s disease may also need help performing these tasks.
In our specialised Alzheimer’s disease home in Tunisia, people generally live in a private room or shared apartment, with staff available to help them 24 hours a day. This type of accommodation is ideal for a person who can be largely independent but needs help with ADLs. Transport to and from medical appointments and social activities is also offered at our specialised Alzheimer’s disease home in Tunisia. These establishments also have dining rooms where residents gather for meals.
We also offer at our specialised Alzheimer’s disease home in Tunisia “special care units” where the person can go when their needs become too great for general assisted living.
Do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email if you are looking for a specialised Alzheimer’s retirement home.
