An elderly person who has become dependent must give up many pleasures in which they loved to indulge. His physical and sometimes even mental condition no longer allows him to do as many things as before. For some of our seniors, this lifestyle quickly becomes frustrating.
Thus, the challenge for natural or professional caregivers in charge of the elderly is to find opportunities for them to rediscover their youth.
This Monday, the Saint-Martin nursing home in Sainte-Livrade served as a setting for the presentation of the Tournicoti-tournicoton fall-winter collection, worn by the residents, but also the supervisory staff.
Edwige Borderie, manager of the Tournicoti-tournicoton boutique, and Nicolas Cantegrel from the Collectif des Lunetiers therefore presented an autumn-winter collection that was atypical to say the least, since it was presented by the residents of the nursing home accompanied by the nursing and supervisory staff.
The hairdresser goes from one table to another and gives the last brush and hairspray to the models of the day.
The residents of the retirement home were delighted, and each put on a top or a poncho with the most beautiful effect. Enthusiasm is at its peak.
The red carpet is rolled out, the spotlights are on and the music is playing. Our top models, feeling more feminine than ever, parade with radiant smiles to the applause of a won over audience.
Our grandmothers who played the game until the end, found the experience very entertaining and enriching, “I lived in another retirement home before arriving here in Sainte Livrade, and I can tell you that this is not never been there, it's a real pleasure to participate in this parade, we should also do it for the men”, confides to us with a smile a delighted resident.
