Support of the Elderly

Throughout the year, volunteer ladies of the Monegasque Red Cross contribute to the comfort and well-being of the residents of the Principality’s retirement homes, with cheerfulness, smiles and devotion.

In Cap Fleuri, in the Hector Otto Foundation, at the Giaume Residence and, for the past year, at A Qietüdine, they devote many hours of their presence to making the residents’ life more pleasant.

With activities always renewed, and daily visits, everything is organised with enthusiasm and friendliness so that the residents may spend quality time and also have the immense pleasure of having their birthdays celebrated.

The variety of activities fills up the well-deserved retirement of these persons, sometimes too isolated, with weakened health, increasingly reduced motor skills, or just melancholic… Thanks to the unfailing motivation of a closely knit and devoted team, the inhabitants of these residences no longer feel their age.

The elderly people of the Principality may also benefit from several aids, such as cheques for their birthdays, gifts and sweets at Christmas and Easter for the residents of retirement homes, coverage of medical expenses, help with household or funeral expenses or monthly 30 € tickets for food.
