This Breton Ehpad transforms the lifetime of seniors | EUROtoday

Un ehpad? No, a village. In Kersalic, situated in Guingamp (Côtes-d’Armor), the corridors are referred to as streets, housing open in a central sq., and residents are inhabitants. There is a grocery retailer, a put up workplace and a “town hall coffee”. They are 72 to dwell there, with the sensation that it is sensible. Here, no white blouses, no drug vehicles. Cats, canine, rabbits, hens are welcome. Once a month, a harnessed pig walks the corridors. Sometimes, even a pony pushes the door. This known as zootherapy. In the occasion of a college strike or the absence of the nanny, it’s the kids who come to animate the premises. Here, life circulates, and the residents are standing, till the tip.
