Too tired for the street, too young for the nursing home, sometimes without papers to enter: aging 20 years ahead, elderly homeless people are bounced from institution to institution. The IGAS describes the deadlock, shows successful practices, and proposes 14 recommendations. Better supporting vulnerable elderly people: state of play and proposals. General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (IGAS), report no. 2025-065R - Dr. Julien Emmanuelli and Mireille Gaüzère, members of IGAS, with the participation of Marie Sirinelli, Aurélie Lorrain-Itty, and Stéphane Mulliez (IGAS), as well as Juliette Berthe and Élise Martins. Audio capsules from Health Practices. Analysis of Health Practices and link to the source. This report is aimed at professionals who support elderly individuals living in severe poverty or train those who do. It gathers previously scattered data on a poorly known population (table 1, pp. 21-22). It shows, sector by sector, what blocks between accommodation, accompanied housing, nursing homes, and care (pp. 22-36). It also describes transferable ground practices: specialized educator in nursing homes (p. 44), structures gathered on the same site such as the Yersin House (p. 49), interface missions for orientation (p. 52). For trainers, it identifies cross-training needs between the social and gerontological sectors (pp. 59-63). It lists tools already available, such as FAS guides, materials from the ViP platform, and the FAMO (pp. 62-63), and opens avenues for ethical reflection: end of life, consent, addictions, freedom of movement (pp. 63-66). Finally, it provides guidelines to prevent an elderly person from falling into extreme poverty (pp. 66-73). #pratiquesensante #GrandePrécarité #VieillissementPrécoce #SansAbrisme #EHPAD #PensionsDeFamille #AccèsAuxDroits #IGAS (translated)
