Disability: specialised host (Mas)

Verified 18 August 2022 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)

You are severely dependent and need a third person to carry out the acts of everyday life (feeding, dressing...), you can be accommodated in a specialised reception house (Mas). La Mas offers permanent accommodation, medical care and social activities. In principle, the Mas accommodates people who are a little more dependent than the population housed in a medical foster home (Fam), but in practice, the audiences are much the same.

The specialised reception house (Mas) offers permanent accommodation to a severely dependent disabled adult who cannot perform the everyday acts alone (eating, dressing...).

This type of accommodation offers single rooms. There are usually 10 per Mas.

Les Mas offers activities for residents such as manual activities, relaxation, music.

FYI  

In principle, the Mas welcomes people who are a little more dependent than the population housed in Foster Care Home (Fam), but in practice, audiences are substantially the same.

To be welcomed in Mas, you need a third person to perform the daily acts (dressing, moving...) and you need constant medical supervision and care.

You must also be a French citizen or a national of the European Economic Area (EEA) or have a valid residence permit if you are a foreign national.

You must apply to the departmental house for disabled persons (MDPH) in your department.

Depending on the department, this can be done directly online or by mail.
