For whom?

Gerontological social work is particularly focused on assisting and supporting clients who are in the most vulnerable situations. The clients are primarily individuals over the age of 65 who lack a family or close support network and who face particular challenges in coping with daily life or whose problems have accumulated.

We also provide guidance, advice, and support to relatives. Home visits are conducted when necessary.
