Nursing home in Tunisia — EHPAD and senior residences
A modern approach to care for elderly people
A nursing home — also known as a care home, retirement home or residential care facility — is a long-term care establishment that provides services to elderly people who can no longer live independently at home. There are several types: medicalised nursing homes, autonomy residences, service residences and supported housing.
Medicalised nursing homes are designed for people who require constant medical care and assistance with daily activities. Autonomy residences are for people who still have a degree of independence but need help with daily tasks such as cooking and cleaning. Service residences are for people who need services such as meals, cleaning and laundry, while still being able to live independently in their own apartment. Supported housing provides adapted accommodation for elderly people who want to live independently with some support for daily tasks.
Nursing homes generally offer a variety of services including medical care, meals, social and leisure activities, transport, daily living assistance, nursing care and psychological support.
It is also important to check the care rates, included services, resident reviews and quality standards before choosing a nursing home.

What type of care in a Tunisian nursing home?
Your nursing home in Tunisia is designed to provide a comfortable and secure living experience for elderly people. It offers a multitude of services to meet the varied needs of residents, while promoting their well-being and quality of life.
One of the key services offered by nursing homes is accommodation. They provide various housing options, from individual rooms to more spacious apartments, allowing residents to choose what suits them best.
Basic care is also essential. Residents receive personalised assistance for daily activities, such as eating, bathing, dressing and moving around. This aid aims to preserve their independence as much as possible while ensuring their comfort and safety.
Nursing homes also focus on nutrition by offering balanced meals adapted to specific nutritional needs. Meals can be taken in a communal dining room, encouraging social interaction, or delivered to the room for those who prefer that option.
Regarding medical care, nursing homes often employ qualified healthcare professionals such as nurses and doctors. These professionals oversee medication management, regular medical monitoring and coordinate medical care with external practitioners as needed.
Residents can also benefit from specialised nursing care according to their individual needs: health monitoring, management of complex issues, palliative care, rehabilitation.
In parallel, care homes implement social and recreational activity programmes: courses, outings, cultural events and varied leisure activities to suit each resident’s preferences.
Wellness services are also increasingly common: gyms, beauty salons and spas, fitness programmes for physical and mental health.
Psychological support helps residents adapt to their new environment and cope with the challenges of ageing. Some homes specialise in Alzheimer’s and dementia care.
What accommodation options in a Tunisian nursing home?
Nursing homes are designed to offer residents a comfortable living environment adapted to their specific needs. They offer several housing options.
Individual rooms
Individual rooms are one of the most common options. They are specially designed to accommodate one resident, offering total privacy. These rooms are generally equipped with a bed, private bathroom, storage space and sometimes a small relaxation area.
Shared rooms
Shared rooms are designed for two residents. They are equipped with two separate beds and individual storage areas. This option can be more economical and allows residents to share their living space with a roommate.
Independent apartments
Some nursing homes offer independent apartments: kitchen, bathroom, living room and one or more bedrooms. This allows residents to prepare their own meals, live more independently while still benefiting from the services and care provided by the establishment.
How to choose?
The choice of accommodation depends on personal preferences, care needs, budget and availability. Some residents prefer the privacy and quiet of an individual room, while others appreciate the companionship and possibility of sharing a double room. Independent apartments are suitable for those who wish to maintain a high degree of independence while benefiting from the security and services offered by the nursing home.
The establishment’s staff are available to discuss the different options and help you make the best decision according to your needs.
Safety is a priority in our nursing homes, with fall prevention measures, monitoring and alert systems, and staff available in case of emergency. Some care homes in Tunisia also offer transport services for medical appointments and outings, as well as advice on financing options.
