The 11 elders of Montauban had planned to find a house to live together. They had always dreamed of having their own cozy corner to avoid moving to a nursing home. Usually, when we hear about roommates, students or young people first come to mind.
But now there are many elderly women who make the decision to live together so as not to appear in a nursing home. Also, some people share their homes with young students.
Thus, the group of these friends aged between 65 and 85 have recently started living together. They decided to share the same house hoping to extend their freedom and share the same interests.
So, it is already 10 years, since they prepared their place called “La Maison d’lsis”. Their main purpose was to live separately and meanwhile share meal and interests. Also, to support each other whenever one of them needs help. This was so that they could also be independent of their children and grandchildren.
Thus, they believed that after creating their mansion they would never appear in a nursing home. So this idea worked! A group of retirees share the same building but meanwhile live separate and are so happy.
