APEI de Chambéry

What APEI de Chambéry does

APEI de Chambéry is a French non-profit association (loi 1901, registration number 775 653 280) founded in 1960, headquartered at 127 rue de Larzac, Chambéry, in the Savoie department. It supports persons with intellectual disabilities and their families across the entire lifecycle through a network of dedicated establishments for children (0–18 years), working-age adults via the sheltered ESAT du Nivolet, adults and aging persons with disabilities, and family caregivers. The organization serves as the canonical "Association des parents, des personnes handicapées mentales et de leurs amis" for the Chambéry area, operating under the Projet Associatif Global 2021/2026 strategic plan.

The association's operations are organized around three principal platforms. PAM73 (Plateforme Aidants Multiservices) is a departmental caregiver support platform offering respite services, therapeutic workshops (art therapy, wellness dance, sophrology, sports activities, theater), and support groups across Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains, Albertville, and Maurienne — having served more than 500 caregivers. ESAT du Nivolet is a sheltered work establishment providing commercial B2B services (printing under the Imprimerie de Savoie brand, laundry/linen, green space maintenance, paper collection and recycling, mailing/routing, document digitization, logistics, staffing/mise à disposition, and subcontracting) that generate earned revenue while employing persons with disabilities. A new autism-focused online resource, Autisme GPS, was launched in April 2026 to extend family navigation services in Savoie.

APEI de Chambéry's business model is a hybrid of public funding and earned revenue. Core social and healthcare services are funded through multi-year authorizations from ARS (Agence Régionale de Santé), Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Département Savoie, Direction départementale des territoires, Ville de Chambéry, and Grand Chambéry. Supplemental revenue is generated through ESAT commercial services, annual membership fees (devenir adhérent), donations (faire un don), taxe d'apprentissage, and grants from foundations including Fondation de France, Fondation Groupe EDF, Fondation Léa Nature, and Crédit Agricole. The organization is governed by President Raymond Mieusset and Director General Guillaume Pelletier, employs between 501 and 1,000 people, and maintains an active digital presence via Facebook and LinkedIn alongside a dedicated recruitment portal.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Sésame Autisme: French federation of autism-specialized parent associations. Comparable on parent-led governance model and specialized disability services, particularly relevant given APEI de Chambéry's recent 'Autisme GPS' guide rollout.

Others

• AGEFIPH: French fund financing professional inclusion of people with disabilities in the private sector. Comparable on work-integration outcomes for ESAT graduates, and a key ecosystem partner/funding counterparty for sheltered-employment providers.

Broad incumbents

• Croix-Rouge française: National Red Cross society operating social, health, and disability establishments across France. Comparable on nonprofit multi-establishment delivery, public funding reliance, and caregiver/community programs, though scope is broader than disability.
• APF France Handicap: Major French disability association (formerly Association des Paralysés de France). Operates a national network of establishments and services for people with physical disabilities, with overlapping capabilities in advocacy, residential care, and adapted employment.
• AFPA: Major French adult vocational training association. Overlaps with APEI's ESAT/work-integration thesis on upskilling and job placement for persons with disabilities and other excluded groups, though at national scale and broader scope.
• Orpea: Large French-listed operator of nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Comparable on residential and elderly-disability care delivery and tariff-funded revenue, though commercially oriented versus APEI's nonprofit model.

Direct peers

• L'ADAPT: French association for the social and professional integration of people with disabilities. Closely comparable on ESAT-equivalent work-integration offerings, vocational rehabilitation, and caregiver support across multiple regions.
• Fondation John Bost: Private French foundation providing residential, medical-social, and educational establishments for children, adults and elderly persons with disabilities and other vulnerabilities. Comparable full-lifecycle service architecture and nonprofit status.
• ADAPEI: Network of departmental associations for parents and friends of people with intellectual disabilities. Sister organizations to APEI offering the same multi-establishment, ESAT-based, caregiver-support service model in other French departments.
• UNAPEI: National federation of APEI associations in France. Directly comparable as the umbrella body for the model APEI de Chambéry operates, coordinating advocacy, funding access, and shared services across 300+ departmental associations.
