MAISONS SAINT JOSEPH

MAISONS SAINT JOSEPH
The purpose of this project is to improve the support, care and living conditions of adults with mental disabilities, mostly Down’s syndrome, welcomed in two homes in Versailles.
Confronted by the lack of facilities dedicated to people with mental disabilities, Maisons St Joseph set up two homes in 2007 with a family atmosphere to welcome adults with mental disabilities in the heart of the city where they can carry out their activities. These homes, which currently host 14 adults, help them to gain autonomy and pursue personal development goals in the long term.
Maisons St Joseph is constantly trying to improve the quality of the support provided to these young adults by adapting the home equipment and providing new facilities in which they can express their creativity.

Results of the last phase:
• Maison Ste Thérèse in Viroflay: completion of the gravel path surrounding the house to improve comfort and safety for residents and visitors.
• Maison St Jean-Paul II in Versailles: minor plumbing work to optimise the use of the washing machine and dryer in the laundry room.
Renovation of the main gate and three shutters to improve residents’ safety and comfort.
