adequate resources enabling them to lead a decent life and play an active part in public, social and cultural life;
- b)
provision of information about services and facilities available for elderly persons and their opportunities to make use of them;
- —
to enable elderly persons to choose their life-style freely and to lead independent lives in their familiar surroundings for as long as they wish and are able, by means of:
- a)
provision of housing suited to their needs and their state of health or of adequate support for adapting their housing;
- b)
the health care and the services necessitated by their state;
