Are the staff in Tunis able to speak English?

Can the Tunis nursing home care for dementia or Alzheimer's?

How does admission to the Tunis nursing home work?
It starts with a free phone call to understand your relative's needs. We then gather their medical file, share a personalised proposal and indicative quote, arrange a video tour, and organise the move and arrival. We coordinate flights and the transfer from Tunis-Carthage airport so the family has a single point of contact.
What is the difference between a nursing home and a senior residence?
A nursing home provides 24/7 medicalised care for dependent elderly people who need constant nursing support. A senior residence suits autonomous seniors who want comfort, security and services but not round-the-clock medical care. If you are unsure which fits, see our guide to senior residences in Tunisia or call us for advice.
How far is Tunis from the UK?
Tunis-Carthage International Airport is roughly a 2.5 to 3 hour direct flight from the UK, with regular connections. The airport is about 8 km from the city centre, making family visits straightforward. We help you plan visits and can coordinate transfers on arrival.
