Almage

What Almage does

Almage (legal entity ALMAGE DEMENTIA CONSULTING) is a Paris-based, privately held consulting and training firm founded in 1986 by neuropsychiatrist Dr. Saillon and neuropsychologist Anne Saillon. The company develops and licenses La Méthode Almage, a 40-year-evolved framework grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT/TCC) and applied to the care of people with Alzheimer's and related neurocognitive disorders. The method is operationalized through the proprietary S.E.N.S.E. framework — Situer, Explorer, Nommer, Stratégie, Évaluation — a five-step analytical process for handling complex behavioral situations, and is built on four pillars: cognitive stimulation, behavior decoding, the living environment as therapy, and family caregiver partnership.

The product surface consists of structured training programs (separately scoped for EHPAD establishments and, since 2024, home care services), tiered Label Méthode Almage certification validated by SGS, and consulting/implementation support delivered through a consultative, direct-to-facility sales motion. Reported outcomes include an average 50% medication reduction per resident, 15,000 residents supported cumulatively, and training satisfaction scores of 9.2-9.7/10 across role groups. Commercial reach is currently France-only, with credibility generated through peer-reviewed publications (since 1996) and recurring presence at the Congrès National des Unités de Soins Alzheimer.

Regional players

• Ages & Vie: French association providing alternative housing and support services for the elderly, including dementia-specific support. Comparable as a French community-based elder care player operating in overlapping customer and care-quality domains.
• Petits-fils: A French home care services network specializing in elderly care, including Alzheimer's support. Comparable as a potential home-care customer of Almage's methodology, with overlapping customer base in French domiciliary dementia care.

Broad incumbents

• Korian: One of Europe's largest senior care operators (clinics, EHPADs, home care) with its own internal training programs and care methodologies. Comparable as a French senior care ecosystem participant with proprietary care training content, though it is primarily an operator rather than a pure training provider.
• Orpea / emeis: Major European senior care operator with in-house training infrastructure and care quality programs across nursing homes and home care. Comparable as a broad French/European incumbent with overlapping elder-care training and quality certification activities.
• Colisée: French operator of EHPADs and home care services with internal training, quality, and care management programs. Comparable as a French elder-care operator that also trains staff on dementia practices, though it serves its own network rather than selling externally.

Direct peers

• Eden Alternative: US-based organization that provides culture-change training, certification, and consulting to elder care communities through a defined methodology. Comparable to Almage as a methodology/training/certification organization selling to care facilities.
• Positive Approach to Care (Teepa Snow): A US-based dementia care training and certification organization built around a single recognized methodology (PAC) delivered through training programs and partner certification. Highly comparable to Almage in structure: a named methodology, certified trainers, and B2B training/certification revenue model for professional care teams.
• Dementia Care Matters: A UK-based organization providing dementia care culture-change training, consultancy, and quality programs to care homes and home care services. Comparable to Almage because it sells a proprietary methodology (DCM) via training and embedded implementation support to facility and home-care operators.
• SPECAL (Contented Dementia Trust): A UK charity promoting the SPECAL method, a person-centered approach to dementia care, delivered through training and practitioner networks. Comparable to Almage as a methodology-based training and dissemination organization for dementia care practice.
• Validation Training Institute: Founded by Naomi Feil, VFI disseminates the Validation methodology through certified training programs for professionals caring for people with dementia. Directly comparable to Almage as a methodology-led training and certification body targeting care teams.
