Older people: the website of reference for-people-ages.gouv.fr has been revamped

Established in 2015 by the Ministry of Solidarity and Health and the National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy (CNSA), the portal offers older people, who are vulnerable to the health crisis, and their relatives, free official information on the aids, rights and solutions to cope with a situation of loss of autonomy.

Articles and videos provide answers to common needs and emergencies, with access to online forms and services to help with the process.

A directory of home care services, a detailed directory of facilities and an official comparison of prices and dependant benefits in residential care facilities for elderly dependants (EHPAD) are included.

Among the proposed headings:

• Preserving your autonomy: getting informed and anticipating
  
  • Loss of autonomy: evaluation and rights
