Helping a loved one

An individual is considered a caregiver when they regularly provide assistance in a non-professional capacity to an adult who has suffered loss of independence.

Are you one of the many individuals in France who are taking care of a loved one? Public services and non-profit organizations have made numerous services and tools available to help you overcome this situation:

Local Senior Information and Coordination Centers: training and coordination are provided, along with access to professionals who can guide you and help you to evaluate your situation.
Community Center for Social Action (CCAS): present in most towns and cities. The CCAS is available to help you prepare your file in order to request social assistance
French Association of Caregivers: they provide information, training and a network for caregivers (for example, hosting a coffee hour for caregivers)

1Our advice

It is important to plan with other family members in order to make the right decisions concerning the elderly person losing their independence
Being a caregiver can have consequences on your own health and social life. It is important to build a support system, meet other people in the same situation and talk to specialists when needed
If you are an employee in the private sector and wish to help a loved one who is no longer fully independent, you can benefit from family caregiver leave, subject to certain conditions
If you provide regular care to a loved one who is a recipient of disability allowance, you may become their employee, as long as the person is not your spouse or civil or domestic partner
If you have a family member over 70 years of age who is no longer fully independent living with you, you are eligible for a tax exemption on your main residence, subject to certain conditions regarding financial resources
