Aging is a global phenomenon that will hit our country with a special focus on the next 30 years. We are aware that a personalized response of services has enormous advantages for the elderly, but also implies a higher cost due to its specificity.
Creating excellent answers is not enough, it is necessary to develop solutions that reach all people, with different needs, at different stages of aging, with different economic capacities. Caring always entails high costs, which is why at OldCare we are working together to prevent and promote successful, healthy and active aging.
