Disability: living (or working) home

The home of life (or occupational home) offers adults with disabilities with a certain autonomy various activities adapted to their abilities (for example, sculpture, painting, gymnastics).

The living center may offer temporary, day-care or boarding.

In order to be admitted to a care home, you must have a disability rate of at least 50% and have sufficient autonomy to carry out your daily activities (food, clothing...).

This rate is determined by the Disability Rights and Autonomy Commission (CDAPH) when you apply for admission.
