ASSAP

What ASSAP does

ASSAP is a French non-profit association (association à but non lucratif) headquartered in Saint-Avé, near Vannes, in the Morbihan department of Brittany. Founded in 1993, the association has operated for over 30 years delivering home care and support services to elderly people in loss of autonomy, individuals with Alzheimer's or related diseases, people with disabilities, working professionals, and family caregivers. ASSAP is supported by the parent organization CLARPA, which carries the shared living (domicile partagé) initiative aimed at Alzheimer's patients.

ASSAP's service portfolio comprises three interconnected offerings: aide à domicile (home help with daily activities and personal care), répit à l'aidant (respite services that give family caregivers temporary relief), and domicile partagé (shared living homes for Alzheimer's patients, operated under CLARPA). Services are delivered in Morbihan and southern Finistère by trained life assistants (assistantes de vie) and range from short interventions to 24/7 presence, with each client receiving a personalized needs assessment and customized care plan. The association holds prefectural quality approval (SAP 493404941) and, since November 2024, the Qualimandat excellence label awarded by the Fédération des Mandataires.

The business model is a mandataire home care arrangement: ASSAP recruits and places qualified life assistants in clients' homes while retaining administrative and payroll responsibility. Revenue derives from individually priced service provision funded through a mix of client payments, French state tax credits (50% of expenses up to €6,750/year, rising to €20,000 for CMI invalidity cardholders), and departmental subsidy programs (APA, CMI) administered via the Conseil Départemental du Morbihan. The go-to-market is direct relationship-based sales to households in the two-department service area, supplemented by awareness activity through the assap.fr website, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), and earned press coverage in regional media.

Direct peers

• Petits-fils: Petits-fils is a French franchise network specializing in in-home assistance for elderly people, including Alzheimer's and dementia care. It directly competes with ASSAP's aide à domicile and Alzheimer's-focused offerings through a national franchise model that is increasingly present in Brittany, targeting the same loss-of-autonomy persona.
• Senior Compagnie: Senior Compagnie is a French franchise network specialized in non-medical home care for dependent elderly people, including Alzheimer's care. It is closely comparable to ASSAP's elderly-care service portfolio and mandataire-style assistance model, and competes in regional markets across France.
• Domidom: Domidom is a French network providing home help and personal care services to elderly and disabled individuals across multiple regions. It is directly comparable to ASSAP in service mix (aide à domicile, post-hospitalization support, dependent elderly care) and operates both mandataire and prestataire models.
• Azaé (formerly APEF): Azaé is a French network offering personalized home services including aide à domicile for seniors and disabled persons. It directly competes with ASSAP in the personal care and home-help category and operates in the Brittany region through franchised agencies.

Emerging players

• Alenvi: Alenvi is a French company offering in-home elder care services with a strong focus on caregiver quality and dedicated Alzheimer's support. It is comparable to ASSAP in elder-care focus and dementia specialization, though it operates across larger urban centers (Paris, Lyon) rather than in Morbihan.

Others

• France Alzheimer: France Alzheimer is the national association supporting families affected by Alzheimer's disease, with a Morbihan branch that is one of ASSAP's named partners. It is comparable as an adjacent ecosystem participant — both serve the same Alzheimer's caregiver/patient population and cross-refer, but France Alzheimer is an advocacy/support organization rather than a paid service provider.
• CCAS / CIAS (Centres Communaux/Intercommunaux d'Action Sociale): CCAS/CIAS are municipal and inter-municipal social action centers providing aide à domicile and support services to elderly and disabled residents in many communes across France. They are adjacent public-sector peers to ASSAP, often operating or commissioning similar services in the same Morbihan territory.

Broad incumbents

• O2 Senior: O2 is one of France's largest private franchise networks for personal and home services, with dedicated O2 Senior offerings for elderly care. It competes with ASSAP in aide à domicile services and operates in Morbihan, but covers a much broader personal-services portfolio beyond elder care.
• UNA (Union Nationale de l'Aide, des Soins et des Services à Domicile): UNA is a national federation representing French home care and personal service associations, including many mandataire and prestataire providers. It is structurally comparable to ASSAP's federation membership (Fédération des Mandataires) and operates comparable elderly/disability home care services, though at federation/multi-association scale rather than as a single operator.
• ADMR (Fédération Nationale ADMR): ADMR is France's largest federation of non-profit home care associations, providing aide à domicile and personal care services across virtually all departments. It is the most direct large-scale incumbent to ASSAP, with comparable service categories and mandataire/prestataire models, but operates at a national scale far beyond ASSAP's Morbihan footprint.
