FRONTIDA ZOIS LTDCARE AT HOME FOR ELDERS AND
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
THE NEW WAY OF LIFE
The “contemporary lifestyle” (long working hours, and family obligations) has led to commitment of time of latest generation and difficulty to support the ones needing care.
WHY IS IMPORTANT FOR THEM?
Elders want:To stay in familiar environmentTo avoid staying in Homes for the Aged
Disabled people need:To enjoy the company of others To develop their personal skillsTo have a degree of autonomy

The Headquarters of FRONTIDA ZOIS are located in West Greece region, in the city of Patras
Athens, Thessaloniki, Agrinio, Naypaktos, Aigio, Syros, and Kalamata have their own FRONTIDA ZOIS offices

EDUCATION & TRAINING
In order to offer the best possible education and training to its employees Frontida Zois continuously organizes seminars and training events for its employees, and volunteers, and has a very essential cooperation with the Greek Ministry of Health, and other main factors of the elder care policy like the Gerontology and Geriatric company of West Greece.
STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT
Frontida Zois since 2010 cooperates with the Greek Ministry of Occupation in the National Program «Help at Home». This program who started operating 10 years ago, consists of many autonomous units (nurse, social worker, domes. assistant) in every province of Greece offering help at home for free to the poorest elders.
For the first time last year this cooperation was opened to include also private units.
For the last two years Frontida has a contract with the Ministry mentioned before, to offer its services to the eldelry for free.
