Elsewhere, nursing homes are not attractive places. In Retz, a well thought out process implicating all relevant actors has managed to make the nursing home the local meeting point for the most diverse social groups; a garden without a fence or any barriers to encounters for those who live there or elsewhere. That is healthy for the individual and also for the entire social fabric, it improves the overall quality of life in the town, it creates interest in each other and thus reduces isolation – not only for the elderly living there. A nursing home has been turned into a communal meeting place for all. Simply innovative – simply wonderful.
