CIAS Coeur de Tarentaise

What CIAS Coeur de Tarentaise does

CIAS Coeur de Tarentaise (Centre Intercommunal d'Action Sociale Coeur de Tarentaise) is a public intercommunal social action center (établissement public médico-social) headquartered in Salins-Fontaine, Savoie, France. Founded in 1966 as SIERSS, the organization was restructured in January 2025 into a Groupement Intercommunal d'Action Sociale (GIAS) constituted as a Groupement de Coopération Sociale et Médico-Sociale (GCSMS), and expanded its territorial coverage to 18 communes across three intercommunalities (Cœur de Tarentaise, Vallées d'Aigueblanche, and Val Vanoise — the latter integrated January 2026).

The organization operates a comprehensive service continuum for elderly and dependent residents, spanning residential facilities and home-based services. Residential assets include EHPAD L'Arbé (80 places with 12 USSA Alzheimer, 12 UPHV disabled-aging, 3 temporary, and 14 PASA places) at Grand-Aigueblanche, Résidence Autonomie Notre Foyer at Salins-Fontaine, and Accueil de Jour Le Perce-Neige (Alzheimer's day care). Home-based services coordinated through the Pôle Domicile at Moûtiers include Aide à Domicile, SSIAD (home nursing), ESAD (specialized Alzheimer's home intervention, 100% health-insurance reimbursed), Téléalarme/Téléassistance (24/7 pendant-based monitoring with fall-detection sensors), Portage de Repas (central-kitchen meal delivery 4 days/week covering 7 days), and Accompagnement Véhiculé (volunteer transport). The technology stack is service-delivery focused rather than platform-centric, anchored by a teleassistance monitoring infrastructure and a centralized kitchen production system at the EHPAD site.

CIAS is a public establishment governed by elected officials from member communes and is not privately owned, investor-backed, or traded. Revenue derives from departmental council allocations (Conseil Départemental de Savoie), ARS Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes funding, health-insurance reimbursements (Assurance Maladie), APA/PCH individual allowances, CARSAT/MSA/CAF co-financing, and regulated service fees. Tariffs for EHPAD, home care, and meal delivery are set annually via departmental deliberation. GTM is direct-to-public: residents access services by phone with Pôle Domicile coordinators who conduct home evaluations and build personalized service plans; referrals originate from municipal channels, healthcare providers, and the regional trajectory.sante-ra.fr admission platform.
