L'Ébène Guyane

What L'Ébène Guyane does

L'Ébène Guyane is a French non-profit association (Association loi 1901, Entreprise Privée à but Non Lucratif) founded on 21 March 1980 to create and manage social and medico-social institutions in French Guiana. The organization operates a comprehensive continuum of care for elderly dependent persons and adults with disabilities, encompassing home-based nursing and support services (SSIAD, SAAD, SPASAD), residential facilities (EHPAD, MAS, ESAT), and specialized Alzheimer's care programs (MAIA, PASA, EMA, Le Jardin d'Ebene). With 19 distinct establishments and services spanning Cayenne and St Laurent du Maroni, the association functions as the primary integrated social care provider in the territory and serves caregiver populations through the Plateforme d'accompagnement et de répit des aidants.

The association generates revenue of approximately €17 million (as of 2018) primarily through French social welfare programs, Assurance Maladie reimbursements, ARS (Agence Régionale de Santé) funding, and departmental council allocations, operating under collective agreements CCN 1951 and CCN 66. Distribution occurs via the French public social welfare system through healthcare referrals, social services coordination, and direct family/individual inquiries. Headcount stood at 208 employees as of 31 August 2018, and the organization is governed by a 14-member Board of Directors, a 6-member Bureau, and President Alex FLERET. The technology stack is described as standard care management and patient tracking systems, with a June 2018 letter of intent signed with GCS GUYASIS to develop regional health information exchange infrastructure for French Guiana.

Services are organized along the full care continuum — from vocational rehabilitation (ESAT, DEA) and sheltered employment through specialized day care (Accueil de jour Autistes, Le Jardin d'Ebene) to comprehensive residential care (EHPAD for dependent elderly, MAS for adults with severe disabilities) and home-based services (SSIAD, SAAD, SPASAD, EMA mobile Alzheimer teams). Care coordination is delivered through MAIA Cayenne and MAIA St Laurent, supported by the Réseau Gérontologique de Guyane launched in 2018 to assist primary care physicians with complex elderly cases. The association operates under the formal name "Association pour la création et la gestion d'institutions sociales et médico-sociales en Guyane" and maintains a minimal digital presence (website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram) focused on institutional communication rather than commercial marketing.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Orpea (now Emeis): Major French-headquartered operator of long-term care facilities (EHPAD equivalent), clinics, and home care across Europe. Directly comparable in core activity (elder residential and nursing care) but operating at vastly larger scale across multiple countries.
• Croix-Rouge Française: France's largest humanitarian non-profit, with extensive medico-social operations including EHPAD, SSIAD, and disability services across all French territories including overseas. Closest non-profit peer in terms of mission, status (association loi 1901), and service breadth.
• Fondation des Apprentis d'Auteuil: Large French non-profit operating medico-social and disability services (MAS, ESAT, IME equivalents). Comparable in non-profit status and disability-services portfolio, though with a broader social-educational mission.
• Association des Paralysés de France (APF France Handicap): Major French non-profit operating residential facilities, supported employment, and home-based services for people with disabilities. Closest peer to L'Ébène's MAS and ESAT disability-services portfolio.
• Korian (now Clariane): One of Europe's largest operators of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home care services. Comparable to L'Ébène in operating EHPAD-style residential elder care and home-based services, but at pan-European scale and for-profit rather than non-profit.
• UNA (Union Nationale de l'Aide, des Soins et des Services aux Domiciles): National federation of home-care and personal-assistance providers (SAAD/SPASAD equivalent) in France. Directly comparable in home-based elderly and disability care services and non-profit association structure.
• DomusVi: Leading French operator of nursing homes (EHPAD), assisted living residences, and home care services. Highly comparable service mix to L'Ébène including EHPAD, MAIA-equivalent coordination, and home-based services, but operating nationally rather than regionally.
• ADMR (Fédération Nationale): National federation of home-help and home-care associations (SAAD/SSIAD equivalent) operating across all French departments including overseas territories. Direct peer in home-based personal care and nursing services for elderly and disabled populations.

Others

• France Alzheimer: National non-profit association focused on Alzheimer's disease support, including day care centers and family-caregiver respite. Comparable in operating Le Jardin d'Ebene-style Alzheimer's day care and caregiver respite services, though as a thematic federation rather than regional operator.
