Silver Life
A housing chain that offers security, service, and comfort.
Silver Life has developed an entirely new concept, which can be seen as a reinterpretation of today’s senior living and care homes. The concept caters to the future elderly population—those who know what they want and are willing to invest in enhanced quality of life during their senior years.
The Crucial Question
In 2012, Peje Emilsson, the founder of Silver Life, posed a question that would become pivotal for the quality of life of many Swedes: "What do I want my future home to look like?" The elderly care homes and home assistance available in Sweden were simply not enough for him; he wanted more and better options. This led him to think creatively. The visionary entrepreneur’s thoughts ultimately resulted in the founding of Silver Life—a concept that embraces seniors' desire to live life without compromising on care, support, and medical treatment.
The Last Home Should Be the Best
Silver Life was founded on the vision that aging should be secure, comfortable, and enjoyable. Seniors should be able to demand the kind of life they want to live—whether they need assistance in daily life or not. Therefore, Silver Life has created housing that can be adapted to each individual and evolve as their care needs increase over time.
Pressalit's bathroom aids are an integral part of both the residences and care homes at Silver Life because they can continuously adjust to meet each individual’s needs.
"With Pressalit's products, we gain independence, accessibility, a great working environment, and a design that integrates seamlessly into the bathrooms without compromising the feeling of being in a home."
A meaningful Membership
Research shows that loneliness accelerates the development of age-related diseases, such as dementia. One of the biggest issues in elderly care in Sweden is loneliness.
Many seniors feel lonelier than the rest of the population—but not those living at Silver Life. Membership forms the core of the Silver Life concept. This means that everyone living there—whether they are healthy, active, and social and buy or rent a home at Silver Life, or if they have care needs and require round-the-clock support at Silver Life’s care home—gains access to a range of facilities and activities designed to make life more enjoyable and social.
"Our wish is that the 35-year-old daughter visiting her 75-year-old mother will look forward to aging and one day purchase her own home at Silver Life."
Silver Life's first residences opened in the summer of 2019 and are beautifully and idyllically located in Nacka, just outside Stockholm. Residents here enjoy various benefits, including a staffed reception and lounge, a high-quality restaurant, a relaxation area with a sauna, fitness facilities, an exercise center, foot care services, and more.
Pressalit and Silver Life for a Better Senior Life
The ability and opportunity to live an independent life is something Pressalit holds dear. Freedom in everyday life is a right for everyone—even for those who need extra assistance. That’s why Pressalit is proud to be represented in Silver Life's residences, both current and future. Silver Life’s vision and Pressalit’s business area come together in a harmonious blend, enhancing the quality of life and well-being for seniors.
A Great Silver Life is Built Around:
- Location. Silver Life’s facilities are either located in urban settings or beautiful natural surroundings—there should be a Silver Life for everyone.
- Architecture. Just because we age doesn’t mean we should have to compromise on our home—it should be cozy and beautiful.
- Technology. Increased independence is key to the design—interiors should provide greater freedom and enhanced quality of life in all stages of life. A good working environment is equally important—the best employees deserve the best conditions.
- Efficient Work Methods. Time should be used wisely—there must be space for both care and attention.
