Recent statistics reveal a growing preference among older adults to age at home, supported by expanding Spitex services. This shift leads to a delay in moving to nursing homes, with residents requiring more intensive care in shorter stays. Care duration for those over 80 has risen from 60 to 73 hours annually in the last decade. Nursing homes are evolving into specialized facilities for palliative care and rehabilitation, accommodating older individuals who take longer to recuperate. This trend is crucial for addressing the impending rise in elderly populations and the need for adequate housing in care settings.
