Our retirement homes are medical and combine personalized care and life plan, quality of welcome and lively social life. Before even examining the comfort and services offered by an establishment, three constraints must be considered : the geographical location of the residence, the budget and finally the adequacy between the degree of medicalization of the residence and the needs of your parent. Which establishment to choose? The geographical location is an important criterion for the elderly person who wishes not to move away from his region of origin, his former domicile, or his family. Preferably, the family will choose a residence whose geographical location will facilitate visits. However, the closer you get to urban centers, the higher the prices, for equal services. Consequently, one can opt for a residence a little further away but whose services and comfort compensate for this inconvenience. It is important to go there and visit the establishment to soak up the atmosphere and meet the staff, the establishment manager as well as the residents already installed. What budget to allocate? Here is a rough idea of the monthly rates charged in the private sector of nursing homes: In Paris : from 4,000 to 4,500 euros In the provinces : from 2,200 to 3,000 euros La tarification des maisons de retraite médicalisées se fait en trois parties : Hébergement : il correspond au coût des prestations hôtelières : logement, pension complète, animation. Seule cette partie du coût est à la charge entière du résident. Dépendance : il s’agit des dépenses liées à la prise en charge spécifique de la perte d’autonomie du résident. L’Allocation Personnalisée d’Autonomie (APA) prend en charge tout ou partie de ce cout. Soins : il s’agit de soins médicaux, directement pris en charge par l’assurance maladie. Comment réserver sa place ? To reserve or register on a waiting list, the establishment will ask you for a reservation check. Only a proper reservation will allow the retirement home to guarantee you a place for a later entry. How to prepare the administrative file? In order to register, the retirement home will ask you to complete an administrative file. This consists of a very comprehensive questionnaire intended to best meet the needs of your parent as well as the administrative documents to provide. >> To search for an establishment, click here Short stays Summer Find out more Find an establishment More criteria Search on the map Our advice sheets Prepare and live the day of admission How to best prepare for entry into a nursing home Why consider entering a nursing home?
