Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Lys Hyrôme - CHI Lys Hyrôme

What Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Lys Hyrôme - CHI Lys Hyrôme does

Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Lys Hyrôme (CHI Lys Hyrôme) is a French public hospital establishment (établissement public de santé) operating two complementary sites in Chemillé-en-Anjou and Vihiers within the Maine-et-Loire department of the Pays-de-la-Loire region. Formed on 1 January 2003 through the merger of the historic Hôpital de Chemillé (rebuilt in 1801, with origins dating to the 11th century) and the Hôpital de Vihiers (originating in 1854), the institution delivers an integrated continuum of geriatric and post-acute care across approximately 338 beds: 10 medicine beds, 43 SSR (Soins de Suite et Réadaptation) beds, 256 EHPAD residential beds distributed across five facilities, 16 USLD long-term care beds, 26 UPAD dementia-care beds, 14 UHR reinforced dementia beds, and 10 temporary accommodation beds.

The hospital's revenue model is anchored in regulated French public healthcare reimbursement. Core funding flows from Assurance Maladie via the Tarification à l'Activité framework for medicine and SSR, with the care tariff (soin) fully covered by health insurance; EHPAD residents pay accommodation (hébergement) and dependency (dépendance) tariffs, with APA channelled directly to the establishment for GIR 1-4 residents from Maine-et-Loire and Loire-Atlantique. Ancillary revenue streams include in-house laundry services (approximately 1 tonne of linen processed daily, with external billing per kilogram to schools, EHPADs, and nurseries) and home meal delivery (~100 meals/day via CCAS contracts). Distribution is direct through the two physical sites, the ViaTrajectoire platform for EHPAD/UPAD admissions, and physician referrals for medicine/SSR. The hospital holds HAS V2014 certification without recommendations (October 2016) and is currently advancing a publicly-backed reconstruction project at the Vihiers site, supported by ARS Pays-de-la-Loire, Conseil Départemental de Maine-et-Loire, and CNSA.

3. External Laundry Services: The in-house laundry facility (processing approximately 1 tonne of linen per day) provides external services to schools, EHPADs, a beauty institute, and nurseries. Billed per kilogram of laundry washed.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Orpea (now Emeis): Major private nursing home and post-acute care operator in France and Europe, providing EHPAD, SSR and home-care services. Comparable on EHPAD, USLD-like long-term care and rehabilitation service lines, but at national scale and on a for-profit basis rather than as a local public hospital.
• Centre Hospitalier Universitaire d'Angers (CHU Angers): Regional university hospital and second reference establishment for CHI Lys Hyrôme, providing Equipe Mobile de Gériatrie support. Overlaps in geriatric medicine and SSR but operates at much larger scale with a full tertiary plateau, anchored in the same Pays-de-la-Loire region.
• Korian: Leading private European operator of EHPAD and senior care facilities with significant French footprint across assisted living and memory care. Comparable as an EHPAD operator serving dependency-tier (GIR 1-4) residents through contracts with French départements, although CHI Lys Hyrôme is a public non-profit institution.
• DomusVi: Large French private operator of EHPAD and assisted living residences, including dedicated Alzheimer units. Mirrors CHI's UPAD/UHR offering at scale and competes for the same pool of GIR-classified elderly residents across France.

Others

• France Alzheimer: National NGO and formal partner of CHI Lys Hyrôme (via departmental branch France Alzheimer 49) for dementia care, family support and staff training. Functionally adjacent as an ecosystem actor funding and shaping dementia pathways on the same territory, rather than a direct care competitor.
• FNEHAD (Fédération Nationale des Établissements d'Hospitalisation à Domicile): National federation of French home-hospitalisation (HAD) providers, of which HAD Mauges Bocage Choletais is a member and a partner for CHI's transitional care. Adjacent rather than competing: HAD handles the home-based segment that complements, but does not overlap with, the hospital's inpatient and EHPAD services.

Regional players

• Centre Hospitalier de Laval: Public hospital in the neighbouring Pays-de-la-Loire department of Mayenne, with a comparable mid-sized EHPAD/SSR offering for an aging catchment. Comparable operating model and scope, but operates in a different département and therefore does not directly compete for residents in the Mauges territory.

Direct peers

• Centre Hospitalier de Doué-la-Fontaine: Small rural public hospital serving the southern Maine-et-Loire area, with a similar geriatric and EHPAD footprint. Directly comparable as a small public establishment providing local medicine, SSR and elderly care with two-site operations and ARS oversight.
• Centre Hospitalier de Cholet: Public hospital in the neighbouring Choletais area, explicitly listed as CHI Lys Hyrôme's reference hospital and the source of its UMIGP and EMSP mobile teams. Comparable as a French public hospital providing medicine, SSR and EHPAD services to a similar Maine-et-Loire/Mauges catchment, with overlapping patient flows.
• Centre Hospitalier de Saumur: Public intercommunal hospital of similar size and rural-catchment profile in Maine-et-Loire, offering a comparable mix of medicine, SSR and EHPAD. Functionally analogous local public hospital competing for the same EHPAD and SSR demand pool in adjacent Saumurois territory.
