Mobility and support services for seniors in France

Various services and equipment options are available to assist seniors and individuals with reduced mobility in maintaining independence and safety within their homes and communities.

To address architectural barriers, stairlifts can be installed to secure vertical movement and prevent falls, which are common domestic accidents for the elderly. Options range from straight models for linear stairs to custom-made solutions for curved or helical staircases, helping to prevent social isolation caused by limited mobility.

Additionally, the Agirc-Arrco ‘Sortir Plus’ program provides free accompaniment for retirees over the age of 75. This service offers human support for medical appointments, shopping, administrative tasks, or social outings. The program is accessible regardless of income level and involves a professional who picks up the individual from their home and accompanies them to their destination.
