Offering gourmet meals to isolated seniors

SOCIAL CHALLENGES - Combating social isolation: 530,000 seniors were in a situation of social death in 2021, compared with 300,000 in 2017. 2 million seniors isolated from family and friendship circles in 2021, up from 900,000 in 2017.

INCLUSIVE CHALLENGES: given the social isolation of our seniors, they have become invisible. The idea is to "give them back their place" in today's society and create intergenerational links.

HEALTH CHALLENGES - Combating undernutrition: France is the 3rd country in Europe most affected by social isolation and undernutrition among the elderly. In the 65-75 age bracket, malnutrition affects 3 to 5% of the population. Over the age of 80, it is estimated that it reaches 30% of subjects, becoming a risk factor for hospitalization and loss of autonomy.

The aim of ÉTOILÉS & SOLIDAIRES is to:
- reinspire seniors to get out of their homes to go to restaurants. Getting moving helps maintain autonomy;

- restoring self-esteem: isolated seniors have regained a taste for getting ready before going to the restaurant (dressing, styling, hygiene care). Physical well-being naturally impacts morale;

- create social, local and intergenerational links;

- reinspire seniors to eat healthily and, in so doing, combat undernutrition.
