What APAHM | does

APAHM (Aide aux Personnes Agées ou à Handicap Moteur) is a French non-profit association organized under the loi 1901 framework and headquartered at 547 Route du Pont, Leffrinckoucke (Dunkerque), France, with approximately 18 employees. Its mission is to enable elderly individuals and people with physical or sensory disabilities to improve their material, social, and professional situations and to integrate into private and public life. The association delivers services through four organizational departments—Autonomy, Home Support and Caregiver Aid; Employment; Adapted Enterprise (sheltered employment); and a Development/Innovation unit—operating regionally across the Hauts-de-France area.

The service portfolio is unusually broad for its size. Under autonomy and home support, APAHM runs SAVS/SAMSAH social and medico-social accompaniment services, the Résidence Les Moulins residential facility, the CLIC des Moulins de Flandres information center, an adapted driving school (Auto-école Adaptée), multiple autonomy-support sub-brands (Hélios, Sill'âge, Maison d'Aloïs), the La Maison de CoTaidants caregiver support center, L'Escale day support, Vacances Répit pour Tous respite vacations, and Dom'Appart in-home assistance. The employment department covers disability recruitment and job retention; the Entreprise Adaptée operates Prest'APAHM and Ergon'Home for sheltered employment; Form'APAHM provides training; and APAHM Entreprises addresses B2B employer needs.

The business model is a hybrid of (a) public funding via French social welfare and medico-social subsidies (the primary revenue stream for a non-profit of this type), (b) service fees from individuals and families using care, housing, training, and adapted-driving services, and (c) commercial revenue from the Entreprise Adaptée activities and APAHM Entreprises' B2B clientele. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; core technology is unspecified; no app, SDK, MCP, or AI capabilities are documented. Distribution is regional and direct—via on-site facilities, mobile home-care outreach, the apahm.org website, and a LinkedIn presence primarily used for recruitment and employer engagement. The association is led by President Yves COSTE and carries GDPR-compliant web infrastructure.
