However, this development is accompanied by new, particularly complex medico-social needs, which current structures are struggling to meet. Indeed, establishments specializing in disability support do not always have the human and medical resources adapted to the management of degenerative diseases linked to aging. Conversely, the Structures welcoming elderly people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases are generally not trained in the specific support of people with Down syndrome or those with a mental disability.
