Significant cost savings by housing adaptations
The study "Better outcomes, lower costs" of the University of Bristol shows, based on experiences from across Europe that investment in housing adaptations lead to substantial savings in health costs.
you the full report in English, translated by Procap Oltenins German summary on my website under the link http://www.wohnenimalter.ch/ "Adaptation of the apartments."
, responsible for the report of the Auditing Committee, summarizes the effectiveness of housing adaptations with the following, memorable phrase: " dignity found a drug with a similar cost profile, it would be hailed as a wonder drug of our time."
Given that most older people as long as possible to stay living at home, the apartment adaptation is a solution with many winners. High time that the possibilities of housing adaptations are known in Switzerland and the shock to inequality of treatment of elderly humans to IV-Bezüger/innen in the funding of housing adaptations is repealed. Indirectly, this study once again demonstrates how central the built environment in general is for the independence and safety of elderly and disabled people. Planners, investors and communities, it should no longer afford, not the obstacle-free building where possible to implement.

senior living in its best way to take the risk

My comment on the review of Lorna Page:
What would be - if the request would be the friends to a good PR coup of the publisher - or a publicity blow the author herself - and what about the heirs - belongs to every crime writer for a criminal mind Still - it would be nice if the invitation by the friends from the retirement home in the large villa in counterfeiting and other fairy tale come true.

dream Why? Not everyone
has there been a Erflogskrimi write to be able to buy a villa. On the other hand, there are many large villas half empty and the owners make more trouble than pleasure. This would be a prospect, he writes: Hi Sabine



've only been yesterday in Seniorenweb under Schmunzel "at rummage, almost to the practice for years to come. I am 50 and after as a nurse on the first search this villa and 2 for people to fill the villa with life and not least by 3 my vision of the "Oak Table" to realize: The place where friends meet and where they grow old, where everyone helps everyone, according to his abilities (= short form of the Vision). My Friend (teacher) is my age and would be attending. So: Why only dream? Should we not begin to live the dream?
'm looking forward to your reply, I just could not resist to answer you .. By late summer

cheerful greeting
