Nursing and care home in Djerba

Looking for a nursing home in Djerba, or a care home on the Mediterranean coast? The “island of sunshine”, in the south of Tunisia, is one of the most sought-after places to retire: a mild climate all year round, white sandy beaches, a relaxed atmosphere and a warm, welcoming community. Silver Resorts supports seniors who want to spend their retirement here, in a retirement home or a nursing home in Djerba, with medical support arranged as needed.

Djerba, the ideal island for a retirement in the sun

Djerba is a delight thanks to its exceptional setting and its safety. Tourism is a major industry here: the infrastructure is well developed, hospitals and clinics are easily accessible, and healthcare professionals are used to caring for international visitors.

Why choose Djerba for your retirement

• a mild, sunny climate all year round;
• Tunisia is a French and Arabic-speaking country, but English is widely understood in tourist areas, in the private clinics we work with, and among our staff;
• accessible medical care and a warm, welcoming community;
• a cost of living far cheaper than the UK, with practical guidance on local tax matters.

Retiring abroad can affect how your UK pension and taxes are handled, so we recommend speaking to a UK-based tax and financial adviser before you move; Silver Resorts can also put you in touch with a Tunisian tax adviser for the local side.
