Non-profit making home help and care in Franche-Comté.

Services associatifs d’aide et soins à domicile en Franche-Comté.

Asociación de servicios de apoyo y asistencia a domicilio en Franche-Comté.

The sector of the home help knows a strong development for some years, in reason in particular of the ageing of the population. In Franche-Comté, associations created the first regional professional collective of France. It represents more than 4000 employees. The employment is there mainly feminine and (…)part-time. The objective is to lead a coherent development policy with the principles of the social economy: satisfaction of the user, the quality of the employment. A first stage of professionalization and a consolidation of the employment was successfully led, thanks to an agreement of yearly adjustment of the working time bound to a strong training policy. The current stake concerns the financial consolidation, in front of a low-cost competition which has no same quality objectives. It is a question of mobilizing the beneficiaries of the service as “ consom’ actors ”.
