Besides medical and social care services provided at home, the project has also an educational component, which aims to promote the image of elderly as active people willing and capable to live a normal social life, despite the medical or material difficulties they face. This will be achieved by organizing various activities in order to promote creativity and pro-social attitudes at senior age.
