What ODELIA does

ODELIA is a French non-profit association (Association loi 1901) founded in May 2004 and headquartered in Lyon at 96 Boulevard Marius Vivier Merle, with SIRET 483 935 441 00046. It operates four residential care facilities for elderly persons in eastern France, comprising three EHPADs (nursing homes for dependent elderly) — Le Parc des Loges in Le Creusot, Le Bosquet de la Mandallaz in Sillingy, and Le Verger des Coudry in Cervens — and one Résidence Autonomie, Le Vallon des Vouas in Le Lyaud, inaugurated on 15 October 2021. The association also offers Services à la personne (home care) to support seniors who remain in their own homes. All establishments are 100% habilitated for French social aid (aide sociale) and hold APL (Aide Personnalisée au Logement) convention agreements, with on-site meal preparation, hygiene and laundry services, and resident activities as core service features.

ODELIA's revenue model is subscription-like and recurring: it derives fees from residential care and home care services, supplemented by French government social-aid payments and APL subsidies; as a non-profit, surpluses are reinvested into facility quality and care services rather than distributed. The organization explicitly positions itself as an "innovation laboratory" testing new care-organization models and domotics/home-automation technologies to support resident safety and autonomy, and it runs an endowment fund (fonds de dotation Odelia) as a supplementary fundraising vehicle. Its distribution is direct-to-resident through owned and operated facilities, with community engagement (volunteers, local associations, municipalities, schools, and cultural partners) and a corporate website (odelia.eu) plus per-residence Facebook pages as marketing channels.

The association is governed by President Michel Jornod and managed by Director General Franck Descotes, and holds memberships in French and European professional bodies including FNAQPA, AD-PA, EDE, and the European Aging Network. Operations are confined to the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regions of France, with no global footprint claim. Certifications disclosed include GDPR/RGPD compliance and a French consumer-code-aligned mediation system (MED CONSO DEV). No external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries are present, consistent with its Association loi 1901 non-capital structure.

Broad incumbents

• Korian: One of the largest European operators of nursing homes, assisted living, and home care services, including extensive EHPAD operations in France. Highly comparable in product offering (EHPAD, Résidences Autonomie, home care) but at vastly greater scale and as a listed for-profit group rather than a non-profit association.
• Emera: French operator of EHPADs and senior residences with a presence in multiple French regions. Comparable in core product offerings (EHPAD, résidences seniors) though structured as a commercial group rather than an association.
• DomusVi: Leading French operator of EHPADs, résidences services seniors, and home care services, directly competing with ODELIA for residents and caregivers across France. Operates a similar multi-tier care continuum at national scale.
• Colisée: French operator of EHPADs, résidences services, and home care services with regional clusters including in eastern France where ODELIA operates. Competes for the same resident pool and caregiver workforce.
• Orpea: Major French and European operator of EHPADs, senior residences, and home care services with a portfolio spanning hundreds of facilities. Comparable in core service lines but operates as a large commercial group rather than an association loi 1901.

Direct peers

• ADEF Résidences: French non-profit association managing a network of EHPADs and résidences autonomie focused on accessible elder care. Operates with a similar humanist, reinvestment-driven philosophy as ODELIA.
• Groupe AFP (Association des Foyers de Province): French association operating EHPADs and senior residences across France, with whom ODELIA has a documented partnership (EHPAD L'Hermitage collaboration). Highly comparable non-profit operating model and target population.
• Fondation Partage et Vie: French non-profit foundation operating EHPADs, résidences autonomie, and home care services for elderly persons, with a structure and mission closely aligned with ODELIA's association model. Directly comparable in non-profit governance, social-aid habilitation, and multi-tier elder care offering.
• ACPPA (Association de soins et services pour les Personnes Agées): French non-profit association operating EHPADs, résidences autonomie, and home care services across multiple regions. Closely mirrors ODELIA's association loi 1901 structure, mission, and reliance on social-aid habilitation.

Others
