el Geriátrico de Europa

Spanish to English Marketing Marketing / Market Research
Siempre se ha comentado que España es **el Geriátrico de Europa**, miles de ciudadanos europeos han escogido esta tierra para disfrutar su jubilación con calidad de vida. Esta es, precisamente la razón principal que ha inspirado esta propuesta. Hemos generado un proyecto atractivo y rentable y esperemos que despierte su interés por invertir en el proyecto.

I can't find a suitable way to say this in English. All suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

agree neilmac : Yes, avoids any negative connotations of "old/geriatric" :-) But I disagree with Mark's appraisal - it is more informal English, NOT "better"...

Thanks neil. The truth is that there are foreigners shipping granny off to Andalucia for the cheaper geriatric care and the nurses can't even comunicate with these poor people...but this isn't a term for advertising!
