It’s a fact that people are living longer. Better health care, higher standards of living, healthier eating and a wider awareness of general health issues has meant that we’re an aging population.

More care homes are being built and people are forced to work longer before retirement.

The residential care homes of the future will be bigger, will have more residents and will require more elderly nursing care than ever before. Places in care homes are also becoming scarcer, as competition for places becomes stronger.

It may seem as though it’s too late to think of booking a luxury beach house on the coast of the Mediterranean, but due to the economy there are still holiday rentals in France and other Mediterranean areas to be found.

You could pick up a week in a luxury beach house in the South of France for as little as 400 Euros per week, with prices rising depending on the type of accommodation and the area of course. Some of the popular areas in France are the Languedoc, Provence and the Cote d’Azur.

The Languedoc-Roussillon stretches from along the southern coast of France, all the way up to the border with Spain and features over 200km of beautiful golden sandy beaches for you to forget the weather back home in the UK. The Languedoc-Roussillon is also much quieter than the more tourist-focussed Cote d’Azur, so you can enjoy the area and sights in relative peace.

The sights include the harbour of Collioure, which was the setting for such great artists as Picasso and Matisse to find their muse.

If you’re looking for an alternative to France you could try one of the other beautiful holiday destinations for holiday rentals in places such as Spain, Italy, Portugal, Marbella or Nerja.
