Long-Term Care

The care home business in France operates under the Korian brand. The network includes 269 facilities, 20% of which are located in major urban centres. Medical care is now an important aspect of the activity of homes for the elderly, where many residents suffer from a neurodegenerative disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease, as residents are increasingly elderly when they enter facilities. Korian nursing homes offer several types of accommodation: long-term care, short-term care and, in some cases, day care. Korian care homes are built on a promise: “Working together to build a support system that integrates quality of care and human ties”. This promise is based on four pillars: consideration, care, living space and openness.

Community Care

  • Domiciliary care
  • Shared housing (assisted living facilities and shared living houses)

Clariane’s home help services are provided by Petits-fils, France’s leading private home help network for the elderly. The Group’s 292 home care agencies provide local assistance for everyday needs, enabling elderly people to continue living at home while receiving the support and assistance they need.

The 183 Âges & Vie shared living houses are single-storey homes comprising eight studio apartments and a communal living space, where care assistants work on a rotating basis. These human-scale shared solutions meet a need that has been poorly covered in rural areas until now. Shared housing enables autonomous elderly people to maintain ties with their loved ones and to remain in a familiar environment. They also help to combat loneliness.
