Codependent living

About

Old age is a normal period of life and we should enjoy it, even when external assistance is required for performing simple but necessary activities: following the medication plan, personal care, and travel. The need for safety defines this period. At Vitalitas we understand this and although codependent residents will continue to carry out daily activities, they will do it under the supervision and with the help of specialized staff, trained to provide assistance.  

Addressability

Elder people who need assistance with daily activities - whether it's related to health or more practical situations such as getting dressed, bathing, eating, and moving around -  are direct beneficiaries of this program.

Accommodation

Residents can choose accommodation in double rooms, single rooms or apartments.
