Open since October 9, 2024 in Crevin (Ille-et-Vilaine), the Âges & vie shared house offers an alternative to accommodation establishments for dependent elderly people (Ehpad).
This shared accommodation for seniors is made up of two houses each with eight bedrooms for a capacity of ten people (two couples maximum), or 20 people in total.
“Each room is furnished but everyone can bring their own furniture if they wish. They have a bathroom adapted for people with reduced mobility and have a separate entrance. explains Carole Boscher, the hostess.

A team of care assistants present on a daily basis
Each house also consists of a shared space with living room, dining room and open kitchen where meals are shared and home-cooked by the carers, with the help of roommates who wish to participate.
The team is made up of four people: a housekeeper, her assistant and two caregivers. They take care of residents on a daily basis according to their needs, “from help from getting up to going to bed, including washing, shopping, cleaning, preparing meals… The advantage for tenants is that they pool the care assistants”explains Carole Boscher.
