What Fondation Maison Saint Benoit does

Fondation Maison Saint-Benoît is a French non-profit association (Loi 1901) recognized as being of public utility, operating since 1820 from a historic former Augustinian convent in central Chambéry, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Its core operation is an EHPAD (Établissement d'Hébergement pour Personnes Âgées Dépendantes) providing residential nursing care to elderly dependent individuals, organized around four specialized living units (3 UVP — Le Magnolia for cognitive disorders with wandering, Le Lilas for wheelchair users, La Roseraie for severe physical dependency — and 1 PASA for moderate cognitive impairment). The foundation is supported by approximately 70 multidisciplinary staff including nurses, care assistants, psychologists, a psychomotor therapist, a coordinating physician, animators, and in-house kitchen and laundry teams following HACCP and RABC protocols.

The business model is fee-for-service residential care billed monthly at €87–94 per day for permanent accommodation (with tiered rates effective 1 February 2026), plus dependency supplements (€6–24/day depending on GIR autonomy level and origin department), temporary accommodation, and guest meals. The medical care component (forfait soins) is reimbursed directly by French national health insurance (Assurance Maladie), while residents can access public aid including APA, ASH, and APL/ALS housing benefits. The foundation also operates Résidence Le Laurier, a wholly-owned independent senior living residence offering autonomous apartments, creating a continuum-of-care platform. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer with no intermediary resellers, supplemented by a listing on ViaTrajectoire, the French national EHPAD admission portal.

The foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors with the Mayor of Chambéry as statutory President, delegating operational authority to a delegated President (Bernard Sevez) and a Directrice (Marie-Pierre Albanel). Marketing is minimal and relationship-driven, relying on website content, testimonials, direct phone/email contact, healthcare professional referrals, and community reputation built over two centuries rather than paid advertising. There are no funding rounds, parent companies, subsidiaries beyond Résidence Le Laurier, or external equity holders disclosed.
