HEKS/EPER organizes information events in various languages for migrants of retirement age, held at cultural associations, companies, and in communes. The topics covered relate mainly to social insurance and health-related matters. Interested migrants are also invited to meetings at specialized offices and institutions working in fields relating to seniors. In this way, they obtain worthwhile information about the AHV/AVS, home care services or about care homes in their vicinity. HEKS/EPER also regularly organizes health promotion activities such as gymnastics lessons, swimming courses, excursions or walks. Monthly café meetings give migrants the opportunity to get together in a relaxed atmosphere. Age-related topics are also to be discussed at these get-togethers.
