Results: resources• The family network is not highly meshed.
• The is a close network with the Deaf community.
• The Deaf community is active! (senior clubs, consulting, information, volontary and honorary work,...)
• If mobility is reduced, the contact and access to the Deaf community is very difficult or impossible.
• Elderly Deaf people are more isolated.

Results: Access to information
• Deaf people are not well informed about supply, offers and legal claims and rights.
• General information are not accessible.• Specific Information in sign language is rare.
![Page 9: RIWC_PARA_A155 deafness and aging](https://reader036.vdokument.com/reader036/viewer/2022062522/587b54ff1a28abff1a8b69fb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Results: Knowledge in institutions
• Healthcare professionals are not well informed about the specific and communicative needs of elderly Deaf people.
• This lack of knowledge leads to a not appropriate care.• Legal claims and rights will not be exercised.

Results: Healthcare
• There are only some specific offers and supply for elderly Deaf people, which take the specific needs into account.
• In most cases there is no possibility to get a specific and appropriate healthcare.
• Itis always hard for Deaf people to make decisions to stay where they live – without specific support – or to go to an institution (in another town) where they get an appropriate supply
