APAMAD devient AMAELLES

What APAMAD devient AMAELLES does

APAMAD (Association Pour l'Accompagnement et le Maintien A Domicile), now rebranding to Amaelles, is a French non-profit association governed by articles 21 to 79 of the Local Civil Code and recognized as a public utility mission organization. Founded in 1947 by Bernard Thierry-Mieg and Violette Schoen as "Aide aux Vieux" to support elderly people in Haut-Rhin, the association today provides a comprehensive range of home care and personal assistance services covering more than 40 service lines. These include daytime personal assistance (SAAD), home nursing care (SSIAD), meal delivery, housekeeping, teleassistance, day care for Alzheimer's patients, the Rivage caregiver respite platform, the Centre de Santé Infirmier (CSI), adapted physical activities (Escapassions), specialized autism services (TSA), legal protection for vulnerable adults, hospital discharge assistance (CARD), and home adaptation services. The association operates through 21 physical antennas across the Haut-Rhin department in the Alsace region, with the headquarters in Mulhouse (75 Allée Gluck).

The technological backbone includes E-NUTRIV, a malnutrition prevention project using Big Data and IoT-connected devices (tablets, connected scales, weighing cushions) for elderly people aged 70+ at home; telemedicine integration via the Alsatian startup TOKTOKDOC enabling nurses to conduct remote consultations at patients' homes; and a 24/7 teleassistance platform with multiple form factors (pendant, bracelet, watch, mobile) that automatically geolocates users during emergencies. The CSI health center in Wittenheim opened in 2018 provides nursing care on-site and at-home along with diabetes screening and prevention. The association operates on a social economy revenue model combining public funding (Social Security/Assurance Maladie), departmental council allocations (APA - Allocation Personnalisée d'Autonomie, PCH - Prestation de Compensation du Handicap), retirement fund contributions, mutual insurance payments, and tax-deductible donations (66% deductible). Free initial needs assessment visits are provided. APAMAD is part of the broader Réseau APA departmental network which collectively employs 3,400 people and serves 30,000+ beneficiaries annually, with APAMAD as the largest member contributing approximately 2,600 employees and conducting roughly 90,000 interventions per month.

In 2024, APAMAD co-founded AMAELLES, the first French national collective for home care and personal assistance, alongside other associations, marking a transition from a regional Haut-Rhin operator to a national coalition platform. The association maintains a Handéo certification for disability services, scored 79/100 on the French gender equality index, and reports a 34% full-time employment rate against a 12% sector average. APAMAD is governed as a non-profit with any management surpluses reinvested into developing local proximity services.
