The 11 elderly people from Montauban had planned to find a house to live together.
They have always dreamed of having their cozy corner to avoid moving to a nursing home.
Usually, when we hear about roommates, firstly students or young people come into our mind.
However, in recent years there are lots of stories about elder people who started living separately.
Also, some people share their homes with young students, in order not to appear in a nursing home.
So, the group of these friends aged 65 to 85 has recently started living together.
They decided to share the same house hoping to extend their freedom and share the same interests.
So, it’s already 10 years, since they prepared their place named “La Maison d’lsis”.
Their main aim was to live separately and meanwhile share the meal and interests.
Besides, to support one another anytime one of them would need help.
This was so that they could be independent of their younger generations too.
So, they believed that after creating their mansion they would never appear in a nursing home.
In France, not everyone can afford to that institute, besides, there is not enough space to accept new habitats.
So, this idea worked!
A group of retired people shares the same building but meanwhile, live apart.
They are so happy.
