Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a senior residence and a nursing home?
A senior residence (also called assisted living) is for **independent or semi-independent** older people who live in their own self-contained apartment, with à-la-carte services such as dining, housekeeping, activities and 24/7 security. A [nursing home](/en/nursing-homes-tunisia/) is a **medicalised facility** providing round-the-clock nursing care for dependent residents who need continuous medical support.
Which cities can I choose from today?
As of June 2026 our senior residence partner in **Tunis** is open and taking residents. Five further locations — Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir, Djerba and Bizerte — are **planned for 2026**, and you can join the priority waiting list now. We are always honest about what is open and what is still in development.
Is the staff English-speaking?
Yes. Our Tunis partner has multilingual care and reception staff, **including English speakers**, so British families and residents can communicate easily from the very first enquiry through to everyday life in the residence.
How much does a senior residence in Tunisia cost?
As an **indicative range**, a furnished studio (rent, services and three meals a day) starts from around €1,200 per month, and a one-bedroom apartment for two from around €1,800. That is roughly 30 to 50% less than an equivalent residence in the UK or France. We confirm exact figures in a written quote based on the city, the apartment and the services chosen.
My relative has dementia or Alzheimer's — is a senior residence suitable?
Not usually. A senior residence is designed for autonomous seniors. If your relative has dementia, advanced Alzheimer's or any condition needing 24/7 nursing supervision, a [nursing home](/en/nursing-homes-tunisia/) is the safer choice. Our team will help you assess the right level of care, free of charge.
How far is Tunisia from the UK?
Tunisia is only about a 2.5 to 3 hour direct flight from the UK, which makes regular family visits realistic. Our team supports the whole process, from the first call to settling your relative in.
