The problem that innovation answers
The innovation addresses the insufficient support for seniors (residents of the so-called tower block housing) and their caregivers, the so-called "sandwich generation".
How does innovation work?
The solution involves integrated therapy for seniors (people aged 60 and older) and their caregivers, including the following methods: oxygen, ozone, feline, dog and horticultural therapy. The innovation of the project is based on role reversal: for several weeks the seniors will take on the role of caregivers (participating in various forms of therapy), while their caregivers will be provided with mental and physical support, thus getting the sense of being taken care of.

Seniors from the so-called block towers with limited access to nature
