Down syndrome life expectancy and aging debate special on France Télévisions, Digi Mart USA News (Pays de la Loire, France): On the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Ici Pays de la Loire is presenting a special Débat Doc evening hosted by Emmanuel Faure. The program includes a debate and the documentary “Une place pour eux ?
Vieillir avec la trisomie 21,” one year after its broadcast.
The evening features testimonies from people who live with and support adults with Down syndrome, whose life expectancy has increased thanks to advances in medicine. The live broadcast is scheduled for Thursday, December 3 at 3:30 p.m.
on france.tv, YouTube and Facebook, with a second part later that evening on Ici Pays de la Loire.
Emmanuel Faure will welcome guests who will revisit how the condition has evolved for the people featured in the film. They will share their daily lives, challenges, needs and support solutions.
Viewers can submit questions through a QR code, and the host and guests will try to answer them during the program.
Life expectancy for people with Down syndrome has risen from 25 years in the 1980s to 65 years today. This raises many questions about their care and about solutions suited to aging.
Many will now outlive their parents, with whom they most often lived, and will age without them.
Care facilities are badly short of places, and nursing homes and medicalized residences are not always adapted to their needs. Specialized work establishments (Esat) that provide professional integration are also unable to address age-related conditions.
Families are often left alone and under-resourced, facing a difficult search for a place where their relatives can age with dignity.
The documentary will be available on france.tv from November 29 and broadcast on Thursday, December 3, right after the debate in a third part of the evening on Ici Pays de la Loire.
