Question 17085 — dependency

Summary

Mr. Nicolas Ray draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People, responsible for autonomy and disabled people, to the difficulties encountered by family carers wishing to offer day care without accommodation to elderly people or people with disabilities. In rural areas, the lack of solutions local support places many caregivers in a situation of exhaustion and isolation. Family day care could constitute a complementary response to existing establishments and services, by allowing an elderly or disabled person to be accompanied for a few hours or a whole day in a family, secure and caring environment. At the same time, he would offer his caregiver a essential respite time. Article L. 441-1 of the Social Action and Families Code provides that the approval issued by the president of the departmental council may authorize full or part-time care, in particular day care. However, the approval reference set out in the appendix to the same code requires the existence, under the roof of the host, of a room reserved for each person or couple hosted, of a surface area minimum of nine square meters for a single person and sixteen square meters for a couple. This condition appears fully justified when the reception includes accommodation, particularly at night. Its undifferentiated application to reception organized exclusively during the day can, however, constitute a significant material obstacle to the development of this support method, even though the person welcomed is not intended to sleep or reside at the host's home. An adaptation of the regulatory framework for reception carried out exclusively during the day, making it possible to replace the obligation to have a single room with that of providing a space adapted to the rest and privacy of the person welcomed, would make it possible to remove a concrete obstacle to the development of this reception system in territories where support solutions remain insufficient. He therefore asks whether the Government plans to modify the approval framework and the standard contract applicable to family caregivers in order to define a specific framework for family day care without accommodation.
