OBSERVATIONS

• The men who turn to our emergency Shelter are growing older and older. The increased demand for accommodation in the Residence is critical and requires immediate attention.
   
• The clinical and psycho-social supervision services provided to our residents improve their quality of life and have an impact on their life expectancy.
   
• However, the longevity of our residents entails more regular assistance and more frequent medical follow-up. 

Statistics

• More than 80% of residents have physical health problems (high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
   
• 52% have mental health problems (schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, etc.)
   
• 35% have reduced mobility
