Twelve days, a steady rhythm
Two medical moments frame the stay. Between them, the days alternate water, walking, memory, and time in the country.
Day 1
Arrival
Transfer, settling in, and a Tunisian welcome dinner.
Day 2
Opening assessment
Geriatric evaluation and personal goals.
Days 3-5
Finding the rhythm
Hydrotherapy in the morning, cognitive awakening in the afternoon.
Days 6-10
Tunisia and technology
A heritage outing, biofeedback, and a life story.
Days 11-12
Assessment and departure
A measured comparison, and the life story handed over in person.
Progress you can see on a screen
Two tools support cognitive awakening. They draw curves, and those curves leave with you.
Heart coherence
A finger sensor shows your score in real time. Breathing becomes visible, and therefore learnable.
EEG neurofeedback
A light headband and a concentration game: attention is practised session after session.
The country is part of the care
Two and a half hours from Paris, a mild climate all year, and a culture of hospitality that makes each day easy to live.
The climate
The softness of the Tunisian coast allows walking and outdoor workshops throughout the year.
The Tunisian table
Olive oil from Sfax, oily fish, market vegetables: the Mediterranean diet in its local form.
The pine woods
Pine and eucalyptus forests a few minutes from the sea, for guided forest bathing.
Heritage
Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, the medina of Tunis: the visit becomes an exercise in memory and orientation.
We follow the WHO ICOPE protocols
Soléa applies the World Health Organization framework for the care of people over 65, from the opening assessment to the written recommendations at departure.
Medical frame
A team with decades of experience in the care of older people, in Tunisia and in France.
Assessment
An assessment based on international standards and measured scores, repeated in the same way on day 2 and day 11.
Restoring capacity
Stimulating and activating intrinsic capacities restores autonomy: a preventive approach at the heart of the ICOPE method.
Dr Lamia Chenik, geriatrician, Expert in aging strategies and policies leads both assessments and signs the recommendations .
