Crohn's Disease Care — Palmeraie, Marrakech

The Palmeraie spreads its villas, estates and resorts among the palm trees, north of Marrakech, along the Fès road and the Casablanca road. Vast and airy, criss-crossed by shaded tracks, it is home to properties with gardens, luxury hotel complexes, golf courses and a few farms. The population is made up of well-off families, expatriates settled in the quiet, resort holidaymakers and owners of second homes.

Unlike the central districts, the Palmeraie has no dense local supply of care: the clinics, laboratories and pharmacies are mostly in Guéliz and in the city, several minutes' drive away. This is exactly what makes home care so valuable here: for a resident or a holidaymaker, having the nurse come avoids a long trip to the centre and ensures care on the spot, in the calm of the estate.
