Market trends

Increased life expectancy is giving seniors greater demographic, economic and political influence. It also brings greater dependence for more members of the population and thus a growing need for specialized facilities. 

Homes for the elderly have to provide more medical care while keeping costs from spiraling out of control.  They must cope with problems of malnutrition, dependence and isolation among their residents, compounded by the difficulty of recruiting skilled, devoted personnel. 

Sodexo's familiarity with this many-facetted market and experience in this demanding profession make it an ideal partner to support the lifestyle projects of eldercare facilities.
