DAME Bois du Seigneur Vernouillet

What DAME Bois du Seigneur Vernouillet does

DAME Bois du Seigneur is a public autonomous communal establishment (établissement public autonome communal) located at 10 Rue des Bois du Seigneur in Vernouillet, Eure-et-Loir, France, operating under the French hospital public service function and governed by the Code de l'Action Sociale et des Familles (CASF). Created on May 14, 1979 as an Institut Médico-Educatif (IME) and renamed in 2019 to its current Dispositif d'Accompagnement Médico-Éducatif (DAME) form, the organization accompanies 140 young people aged 11-20 with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders within an ARS-authorized capacity of 120 places. Services are delivered through three integrated poles — an Educational Pole (socialization and autonomy), a Pedagogical Pole (six teaching units including five external units hosted in partner schools), and a Healthcare Pole staffed by psychologists, a psychomotor therapist, nurses, a child psychiatrist, and a general practitioner — supplemented by day care, an internat under construction, and professional workshops tied to a local enterprise network for internships and immersions. The Mayors of Vernouillet chairs the Board of Administration and the Commune de Vernouillet is the parent entity, making this a fully government-owned medico-social facility rather than a private operator.

The business model is institutional rather than commercial: there is no direct billing to families and revenue flows from the French Sécurité Sociale and departmental council allocations under ARS authorization and departmental sectorization. Beneficiary access is gated through orientation notifications issued by the Maison Départementale de l'Autonomie (MDA) following evaluation of support needs, and entry pathways are coordinated by named social workers and a transport coordinator. Go-to-market is therefore referral- and authorization-driven, with no commercial sales motion, no proprietary technology platform, and no disclosed AI or digital product layer. Standard facility infrastructure — transportation fleet, classrooms, healthcare offices, and the planned residential internat — supports delivery across center-based, home-based, semi-internat, and (forthcoming) internat modalities within the Eure-et-Loir departmental catchment.
