What Clinique des Minimes does

Clinique des Minimes is a private for-profit healthcare facility located in Toulouse, France, founded in January 2013 and led by director Pierre-Yves de Kerimel. It specializes in geriatric care for patients aged 60 and over, operating 170+ beds and places organized across six poles of expertise: geriatric medicine, psychogeriatrics, addictology, palliative care, rehabilitation, and EHPAD (residential care for dependent elders). The facility treats approximately 1,500 inpatients per year and was the first in France to apply the Montessori method to elderly care (2015) and the first private establishment to host an intergenerational daycare ("Mini-Mômes").

The clinic operates a conventioned revenue model under French public health regulation, with séjours (daily care charges) reimbursed by Assurance Maladie, supplemented by the Forfait Journalier (daily co-payment), single-room upgrades, and hotel extras such as television, pedicure, hairdressing, and visitor meals. Additional revenue streams include the Centre de Santé (a primary-care consultation arm that recorded roughly 11,000 visits in 2021), prevention programs funded by the Conférence des financeurs, ARS Occitanie, and CARSAT, and an on-site medical biology laboratory operated in partnership with INOVIE (opened 2022).

The business is embedded in a broader regional care ecosystem through membership in the Clinavenir alliance of nine independent private clinics, the GHT Haute-Garonne et Tarn Ouest territorial hospital grouping, partnerships with CHU Toulouse for tele-expertise, and participation in local CPTS coordinated care initiatives. The clinic holds HAS Certification A (the highest French healthcare quality certification) and was designated a "Hôpital de proximité" by ARS Occitanie in May 2025; it also received a delegation from the Singapore Ministry of Health in April 2025, signaling international visibility in geriatric care models.

Revenue model

1. Hospital Care Services (Séjour et Soins): The clinic is a conventionné (agreement with Assurance Maladie) establishment. Frais de séjour (hospitalization costs) are covered by the mandatory health insurance organism. Patients may have additional costs partially covered by their complementary health insurance (mutuelle), including the Forfait Journalier (daily co-payment), single room supplements, and hotel extras (TV, pedicure). Revenue is generated from multi-day hospital stays, day hospitalization, and outpatient consultations.
2. Hotel and Ancillary Services: Supplementary hotel services including single rooms (chambre particulière), television, pedicure, hairdressing, and visitor meals generate additional revenue. These are charged as optional extras, with partial or full coverage depending on the patient's complementary insurance contract.
3. Centre de Santé Primary Care Consultations: The Centre de Santé des Minimes provides primary care consultations to all residents regardless of income level, including general medicine, specialist consultations (geriatrics, gynecology, dentistry, sleep medicine), and paramedical services (orthophony, dietetics, psychology). In 2021, it recorded nearly 11,000 consultations for 1,500 patients.
4. Prevention and Therapeutic Education Programs: Prevention programs for persons over 60 are offered with support from the Conference des financeurs, ARS, and CARSAT. Programs such as 'Sport Santé', nutrition workshops, and memory training are provided free of charge to participants, funded through regional health financing bodies.
