What Univi does

UNIVI is a French non-profit associative group (groupe associatif paritaire) founded in January 2019 by the Fédération Agirc-Arrco and supplementary retirement institutions (Institutions de Retraite Complémentaire) to operate a national network of medical-social care facilities. The organization is structured into three operational divisions: UNIVI Seniors (65 senior residences including 43 EHPADs / nursing homes, Résidences Autonomie, and Résidences Services), UNIVI Santé (3 hospitals — Hôpital La Porte Verte, Hôpital Les Magnolias, Hôpital Les Sources — plus a SSR rehabilitation facility and a USLD long-term care unit, with over 10,000 hospital admissions and 8,000 outpatient consultations annually), and UNIVI Handicap (19 structures in the Oise department serving approximately 900 persons with mental disabilities, including 290 sheltered workers in ESAT workshops). Across 90+ establishments in 11 French regions, UNIVI provides 6,570+ beds and places and employs 4,100+ staff across 100 professions.

The business model relies on three recurring revenue streams: accommodation and care fees from EHPAD residents (daily rates €84-€127), social security reimbursement (Sécurité Sociale, Assurance Maladie) for hospital and rehabilitation services, and departmental/government subsidies plus MDPH coordination for disability services. Complementary units include Label Lobélia (quality certification with Bureau Veritas, 9 residences certified), the Vi'LaVie digital aidant platform for family caregivers, UNIVI Formation (internal training center), the UNIDanse dance therapy research program, and the Cercle Éthique UNIVI launched June 2025. The group is governed by a bipartite Board of Directors (20 members equally split between employer and employee representatives) and pursues growth through both EHPAD acquisitions (Kerdonis 2023, La Pirandelle 2024, Georges Morchain 2025) and greenfield construction (Bron establishment, La Porte Verte hospital extension), supported by Agirc-Arrco institutional backing and partnerships with ARS Île-de-France, Doctolib, and Staff Santé.

Broad incumbents

• Clariane (formerly Korian): Largest private European operator of nursing homes, assisted-living, and home-care services with a sizeable French EHPAD footprint — competing head-to-head with UNIVI on national ranking lists and acquisition targets.
• DomusVi: Large private French EHPAD and senior-residence operator (post-ZorgGroep consolidations); overlaps with UNIVI on EHPAD daily-rate positioning and target family demographic.
• Colisée: Private French EHPAD and senior-living group competing in the mid-market positioning where many UNIVI EHPADs (€84–127/day) sit; relevant M&A competitor for regional facilities.
• LNA Santé: Listed French healthcare group combining hospitals, SSR, EHPADs, and home care — the closest listed comp to UNIVI's three-pillar (Seniors/Santé/Handicap) integrated model.
• Emeis (formerly Orpea): Second major French-headquartered private EHPAD and clinic operator with significant French nursing-home exposure; comparable in scale but private/commercial versus UNIVI's non-profit paritary model.
