Adapei of the Landes

What Adapei of the Landes does

Adapei des Landes is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 1966, headquartered in Mont-de-Marsan and operating across the Landes department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It supports people with intellectual, cognitive, and multiple disabilities from childhood through adulthood through a portfolio of approximately 20 specialized establishments grouped into four territorial divisions: Territoire Enfance (IME Saint-Exupéry and IME Les Pléiades, plus SESSAD home-based support and UEMA inclusive preschool units), Territoire Insertion par le travail (ESAT du Conte and ESAT Sud Adour Multiservices, which run sheltered workshops offering catering, woodworking, masonry, landscaping, industrial cleaning, mailing, ironing, and temporary staffing services), Territoire Accueil des Adultes (Le Marcadé, Tournesoleil, Foyer Saint-Amand housing complexes, plus SAVS Départemental and SAMSAH TSA), and Territoire Services (Emploi Accompagné, PCPE Zéro sans solution, DAPPV, Communauté 360 Landes). All ESSMS structures received the maximum A rating under the Haute Autorité de Santé evaluation referential.

The association's business model is dominated by public funding through the Dotation Globale de Financement (DGF) channeled by ARS Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the Département des Landes, classified as recurring subscription-equivalent revenue. Secondary revenue streams include ESAT commercial workshop sales to local businesses (cleaning, landscaping, catering under the "En Faim de Conte" brand, staffing), charitable donations and legacies, and contributions from the Taxe d'apprentissage. Pricing for ESAT services is on a unit/project basis with pay-as-you-go billing, and donors receive French tax deductions.

The organization is governed by a volunteer board led by President Christine GIRARDIER with Pierre-Matthieu KAHN as Directeur Général, and is affiliated with the Unapei national federation, URAPEI, and Nexem. The go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven (Foulées Bleues, Opération Brioches, La Nuit du Handicap), with referrals through ARS, the Département, schools, and healthcare professionals as the primary beneficiary-acquisition channel. Recent strategic activity has centered on infrastructure investment — a new shared services platform inaugurated in June 2025 and the Foyer Bourrasse construction in Tosse — alongside the development of newer coordinated-pathway services and a 2025 convention with Police Nationale des Landes.

Direct peers

• Adapei de la Gironde: Sister Adapei association operating in the adjacent Gironde department with a nearly identical product mix of IME, ESAT, foyers, SAVS/SAMSAH and SESSAD. Peer-to-peer benchmark for funding levels, occupancy, and service quality within the Unapei federation.
• Adapei 64 (Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es-Atlantiques): Another Unapei federation member in Nouvelle-Aquitaine serving a neighboring department. Comparable scope (children/adult medico-social establishments, ESAT workshops), exposes Adapei des Landes to potential cross-departmental consolidation or federation-level initiatives.
• Les Papillons Blancs de Bordeaux: Unapei-affiliated association in Gironde/Bordeaux region with parallel IME, ESAT and adult habitat offerings. Closely comparable civic mission, governance, and product mix to Adapei des Landes, with the same employer federation and funding environment.

Regional players

• Fondation John Bost: National non-profit operating medical-social establishments for children and adults with disabilities and mental illness, including housing and employment services. Multi-region operator with comparable services, providing a benchmark for institutional scale and diversified service design.
• ASEI: Occitanie-based association providing specialized medico-social services for people with intellectual disabilities (IME, MAS, foyer). Comparable service model and associative governance structure; a regional peer that occasionally overlaps in Nouvelle-Aquitaine catchment zones.

Broad incumbents

• APF France Handicap: Larger national association serving people with physical disabilities with analogous medico-social and employment services. Operates in Landes and adjacent departments; an established broader competitor for certain service authorizations and donor mindshare.
• Unapei: National federation of associations supporting people with intellectual disabilities. Adapei des Landes is a member; Unapei sets standards, runs national campaigns, and influences federal funding allocations, making it the closest broad-incumbent peer in the same ecosystem.

Others

• Nexem: National federation of non-profit social and medico-social employers. An ecosystem-level peer rather than direct competitor; represents Adapei des Landes in employer negotiations (CCNT/BAD) and sector-wide policy work.
