Les Maisons De Retraite

What Les Maisons De Retraite does

Les Maisons De Retraite (lesmaisonsderetraite.fr) operates France's leading online reference directory for retirement homes, EHPADs, USLDs, résidences autonomie, and résidences services. Founded around 2002 and operated by Websenior Sprl (a Belgian-incorporated entity) with Alliance Senior as the responsible publisher based in Boulogne-Billancourt, the platform catalogs over 10,000 establishments across all 96 French departments and serves approximately 350,000 monthly visitors, positioning itself as the N°1 Google result for EHPAD and maison de retraite searches in France. The platform operates on a freemium B2C model where families and seniors can search, compare, and access educational content on facility types, AGGIR dependency grids, financial aid (APA, APL), and admission procedures at no cost.

The company's product portfolio extends beyond the core directory to include the Espace Emploi (a specialized job board with 800 active listings and a CV database of 13,000 elderly care professionals), the Espace Professionnel (a dashboard enabling retirement home directors to manage premium listings, availability alerts, and incoming housing requests), an Annuaire des Formations (training directory), and extensive informational guides on Alzheimer, Parkinson, and sector economics. Underlying technology is a web-based platform with search functionality, professional dashboards, and job listing management systems — no proprietary AI, API, or third-party integrations are disclosed, and the site holds a CNIL registration for data processing compliance.

Monetization operates through three B2B revenue streams: paid premium and priority directory subscriptions for establishment directors (with a free basic tier), transaction-based recruitment services (job postings at 190-600€ HT and CVthèque access at 250-1,300€ HT annually), and advertising/sponsorship from major French retirement home operators (ORPEA/EMEIS, Korian, Maisons de Famille). The business runs with a lean 1-10 employee team, is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, and operates exclusively within the French market.

Broad incumbents

• Leboncoin: France's largest generalist classifieds platform with a significant jobs vertical. Adjacent competitor for healthcare/caregiver job postings and employer ad budgets.
• PagesJaunes: Established French local business directory with significant SEO traffic. Broad incumbent in online directory services that overlaps with how users discover senior care providers.
