What amelis does

Amelis is a French prestataire-model home care provider founded in 2002 and headquartered in Paris, operating 66 local agencies across France with a workforce of 2,000 caregivers (auxiliaires de vie) serving approximately 8,000 families daily. The company delivers in-home personal care, autonomy support, companionship, and specialized services for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis patients, alongside add-ons such as 24/7 continuous care, night watch, meal delivery, and teleassistance/medical alarms. Its customer segments are elderly individuals experiencing loss of autonomy, persons with disabilities, and post-hospitalization patients, all served through individualized in-home needs assessments conducted by local coordinators.

The business operates as a regulated employer of caregivers (prestataire model), handling all payroll, training, supervision, and administrative obligations while assisting clients in navigating public funding (APA, PCH) and accessing the 50% French tax credit. Distribution is exclusively through the proprietary 66-agency network, with marketing driven by SEO, content (Institut Amelis), and a SmartRecruiters-backed employment brand. Technology usage is minimal — no proprietary platform, no AI/ML, no mobile app — limited to standard web, cookie analytics, and CRM workflows supporting online quotes and aid-eligibility forms. The company holds a Qualiopi-certified internal training center offering VAE pathways to RNCP caregiver certification.

Since 2024, Amelis has been owned by Epiktet Group, a French conglomerate led by Hervé Lecat that also owns Kinougarde (home childcare) and Complétude (tutoring, #2 in France). The combined entity operates Amelis Domicile Services SAS, Amelis Développement et Franchise SAS, and Domicil+. Amelis is registered as a "Société à mission" and achieved a 2026 Gender Equality Index of 94/100, while holding departmental SAP authorization (registration SAP 481 209 500) across its agency footprint. Revenue, funding rounds, and detailed growth metrics are not publicly disclosed in the available source data.

Revenue model

1. Home care service fees (prestations d'aide à domicile): Amelis operates as a 'prestataire' — the employer of caregivers — billing clients monthly based on hours of service rendered. Revenue is recurring and usage-based, driven by the volume and type of care interventions. Clients pay only the remainder after public aid (APA, PCH) is deducted. Additional revenue comes from the 50% French tax credit on qualifying home care expenses, which stimulates demand.
