Foyer Saintjoseph

What Foyer Saintjoseph does

Foyer Saint Joseph is a non-profit association (Association à but non lucratif) operating an EHPAD (Établissement d'Hébergement pour Personnes Âgées Dépendantes) — a medicalized retirement home — in a historic 17th-century former monastery at 2 et 4 Rue de la Cage in the historic center of Rouen, France. The facility houses 120 permanent residents, 2 temporary residents, and 10 day-care places, serving dependent elderly persons aged 60 and over, including those affected by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Core services span permanent accommodation, temporary stays of 2 weeks to 3 months (for respite, trial, or emergency placement), and day care open from 10h to 17h with therapeutic workshops. Specialized therapeutic infrastructure includes a Snoezelen multi-sensory room, a balneotherapy facility, a physiotherapy room, and a PASA (Pôle d'Activités et de Soins Adaptés) for behavioral support. In 2025 the facility added PhysioVR + Cineto VR + Static VR immersive rehabilitation technology, financed through a €34,958 grant from the European Union under the Plan d'Aide à l'Investissement du quotidien. Resident amenities include a hairdressing salon, an air-conditioned restaurant serving homemade meals, and the Café des Pot's Âgés social space.

The business model is recurring subscription-style care fees charged to residents, partially offset by French social assistance (aide sociale à l'hébergement) and APA (Allocation Personnalisée d'Autonomie) allocations; pricing is regulated and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct: prospective residents and families contact the facility by phone, via the institutional website (foyersaintjoseph.fr), or in person, completing the national Cerfa admission form. Customer segments are elderly dependent persons and their families/caregivers, with the latter also served via a caregivers' support group run in partnership with CLIC. Care delivery is supported by on-site clinical staff (doctors, nurses, physiotherapist, psychologist, psychomotor therapist) and coordinated with external mobile geriatric, palliative care, psycho-geriatric, and home hospitalization (HAD) teams. Distribution and marketing are limited to the institutional website, a Facebook page, a LinkedIn page, and an in-house activities/news blog.

The organization traces its origins to the Monastère Saint-Joseph de Rouen, founded in 1642 by Marie DELPECH De L'ETANG to shelter orphaned girls aged 6–18, and served as a refugee shelter during both World Wars before being converted to an EHPAD while retaining its non-profit, social-aid-habilitated status. It is independently managed with no disclosed parent company or external investor. In 2025 it achieved a score of 91/100 on the Index égalité professionnelle femmes–hommes.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• DomusVi: One of the top three French EHPAD operators with a national network of nursing homes; comparable to Foyer Saint Joseph in service offering (permanent, temporary, day care, dementia care) but with a much broader geographic and capacity footprint.
• Clariane (formerly Korian): Largest pan-European operator of nursing homes (EHPAD), clinics, and home care, headquartered in France; directly comparable to Foyer Saint Joseph as an EHPAD operator but operates at vastly greater scale across multiple countries and care segments.
• emeis (formerly Orpea): Major French-headquartered EHPAD and long-term care operator with thousands of beds across Europe; comparable to Foyer Saint Joseph in core service (medicalized elderly care) but operates as a large commercial group rather than a single-site non-profit.
• Colisée: French operator of EHPADs and senior care facilities with presence in multiple European countries; comparable to Foyer Saint Joseph in core EHPAD service model but with substantially greater scale and multi-site reach.

Direct peers

• Petites Sœurs des Pauvres: Religious non-profit organization operating EHPADs for dependent elderly across France and Europe; structurally comparable to Foyer Saint Joseph as a small, mission-driven, faith-inspired non-profit EHPAD focused on elderly dependent residents.
• Fondation Partage & Vie: Non-profit foundation operating EHPADs and senior care residences across France; comparable to Foyer Saint Joseph in mission (caring for dependent elderly), non-profit governance, and offering of medicalized housing, temporary stays, and day care.
• Adef Résidences: French non-profit association operating a network of EHPADs and assisted-living residences; structurally and operationally the closest analogue to Foyer Saint Joseph — same non-profit habilité aide sociale model, comparable size of individual residences, and similar focus on dependent elderly including dementia.
• LNA Santé: French operator of nursing homes, clinics, and home hospitalization services; comparable to Foyer Saint Joseph in providing EHPAD-level care with mobile HAD partnerships and a focus on dependent elderly, though operating at larger group scale.

Others

• Croix-Rouge française: Major French non-profit running a network of EHPADs, home care, and health/social services; comparable to Foyer Saint Joseph in non-profit governance and elderly care focus but with a much broader health and social service portfolio.
• Fondation Médéric Alzheimer: French foundation focused on Alzheimer's and related dementias, including research and care practice dissemination; thematically adjacent to Foyer Saint Joseph's PASA and Snoezelen dementia specialization but not a direct EHPAD operator.
