A.R.E.P.A. is a non profit-making
association governed by the 1901 Act. |

|
Taking care of and responsibility for old
people
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The level of
services, accommodation and responsibility for the elderly people differs
depending on the various types of establishment : |
|
|
|
 46 residential
homes, throughout PARIS and the Paris Region provide
accommodation for about 3,000 elderly people who are fully self-sufficient and
capable of living independently in their own home (one or two rooms) in a block
of flats. |
|
|
|
All the residential homes are designed to favour keeping the
elderly in their own homes, but a certain number of A.R.E.P.A. residential
homes have reinforced this policy by co-ordinating everyday care, home nursing
and home help services. 7 of our residential homes currently operate on this
basis. |

21 nursing homes
with a medical care section, throughout the Paris
Region and in the following Departments : Aube, Charente, Côte d'Or,
Rhône, Vienne and Yonne - take charge of elderly people who are becoming
dependent and who, apart from accommodation, also need the staff's assistance
for care, nursing, drug administration and help with everyday
life. |
|
|
|
 14 of these nursing homes also provides protected living units
for disoriented elderly people, such as Alzheimer sufferers, and one such home
also takes care of ageing disabled adults. |
|
|
|
2 nursing homes (Gonesse and Saint-Gratien) operate both as
residential homes and nursing homes with a medical care section. These combined
homes have the advantage of enabling the elderly to remain in the same place
should they become dependent. |

500 employees also
visit 2 250 people in their homes each month, through two specialised
Associations : |
|
|
|
S.A.M.-A.R.E.P.A., founded in
1968 : an Association for home helps which extends beyond the residential homes
to intervene in homes that are not managed by A.R.E.P.A. and in the elderly
people's own homes. They work frequently in partnership with mutual benefit
societies. |
|
|
|
A.M.G.A.D., founded in 1989 : an Association which acts as official
representative for the elderly, for home nursing and home helps, thus
complementing S.A.M. - A.R.E.P.A. |
|
|
|
The
key points of the A.R.E.P.A. organisation are research, meetings, exchange and
experience. It is twinned with the Swiss Foundation, "Les Pergolas"
and welcomes many foreign delegations, takes part in consulting missions in
France and in EEC countries and acts as an alternative solution in
gerontology. |
|
|
|
On
behalf of the Hope associations (Housing for Older People in Europe), AREPA
represents French managers of old people's homes. |
