What is a family welcome? The family reception allows an elderly and/or disabled person to be accommodated in the home of a family host. The guest pays the family welcome. It can obtain financial assistance, subject to certain conditions. We present you the regulations to know.
The family host (a single person or a couple) accommodated in his home an elderly person or a disabled adult. In exchange, the guest pays the family host.
The family host must have received a approval issued by the department's services. These services organize the monitoring of the host and the follow-up of the person accommodated.
Family reception can be temporary or sequential, part-time or full-time, or permanent.

The family friendly and the person accommodated must not not related. The person accommodated must be able-bodied, or have a loss of autonomy compatible with family care, that is, not be heavily dependent (for example, not need constant care).
