What Colisée does
Colisée Group is a France-headquartered, privately held operator of senior care services, formally COLISEE GROUP SAS (RCS Paris 888 238 250), headquartered in Paris. The company runs medicalized nursing homes (EHPAD), independent service flats (résidences services), home care services, and post-acute rehabilitation clinics (SSR), serving seniors and their families in France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and through a China joint venture. As of December 31, 2023 it operated 447 communities, employed approximately 21,600 people, and reported turnover of €1.6 billion, making it the fourth-largest elderly care provider in Europe.
Its service delivery model is built on directly owned and operated facilities, with revenue generated through recurring, per-resident care contracts and supplemented by French regional subsidies such as the APA. Differentiated care methodology is anchored on a Montessori-based approach and country-specific personalized life projects (PAP/PAyV/CME/PAI), supported by digital tools including the MedbyColisée teleconsultation platform (launched 2018), the Core Academy and e-Clore training platforms, and the Wedoxa/Goodays authenticated review system (ISO 20488) used to measure satisfaction of seniors, families, and employees.
Colisée's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: families and seniors engage via facility visits, referrals, and direct inquiries, with reputation reinforced by 77,000+ authenticated reviews since 2019. The group has held mission-led company status since 2021, validated its carbon trajectory through SBTi in 2022, and operates subsidiaries including Armonea (Belgium) and Onela (France home care). Following a December 2025 lender-led recapitalization, ownership passed from EQT Infrastructure V to a consortium of senior creditors (CVC Credit, KKR, Blackstone, HIG Capital), who are now executing a restructuring that reduces net debt to approximately €1.2 billion and extends senior debt maturity to 2031.
