Question 14634 — professions and social activities

Summary

Ms. Corinne Vignon draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the profession of home help. Today, the entire profession agrees on a lack of recognition and promotion of the home help profession. At a time when the care and support of elderly people, those in difficulty or those with disabilities are major concerns of the Government, it should be recognized that Home helpers are essential professionals to help keep people losing their independence at home. The exercise of this profession should no longer be assimilated to simple housekeeping or shopping. Home helpers must increasingly face new serious and complex pathologies such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, various disabilities, requiring professional skills certified by a diploma training and continuing education. Added to this sometimes complex support is the use of their personal vehicle (premature wear), on-call time and travel between interventions (sometimes not reimbursed), incomplete working hours (70% of employees work part-time) and low remuneration (the value of the point has not been revisited since 2016). In view of these elements, and given the importance of promoting these professionals who work every day to keep people in vulnerable situations at home, he would like to know his opinion on the avenues for improvement that could be made regarding the status and working conditions of home helpers.
