MARKET TRENDS
Increased life expectancy is giving seniors greater
demographic, economic and political infl uence.
It also brings greater dependence for more
members of the population and thus a growing
need for specialized facilities.
Homes for the elderly have to provide more
medical care while keeping costs from spiraling
out of control. They must cope with problems of
malnutrition, dependence and isolation among
their residents, compounded by the diffi culty
of recruiting skilled, devoted personnel.
Sodexo’s familiarity with this many-facetted market
and experience in this demanding profession make
it an ideal partner to support the lifestyle projects
of eldercare facilities.
