For a less restraining senior care center : a feasibility study

Résumé du document

The ageing of the French population and the strong increase of old people has become a business prospect. In France, more than one million people are more than 85 years and this is expected to be doubled by 2020. My entrepreneurial project is to create an old people home business and develop my own company in different parts of France. I realized that in France, a senior citizen has to wait for a year before being accepted as a resident. There is an expectation for families who can't take care of their parents or grand parents. Moreover, people are ready to pay a lot for this service. The French health care system could not provide enough services owing to the bankrupty.

Assisted cognition, could take the form of portable memory banks, perhaps combined with a mobile phone, for those whose senior moments are starting to come all too frequently.
