This agreement, signed following a competitive bidding process involving several industry players, is part of Clariane’s strategic plan to strengthen its financial structure. Announced on November 14, 2023, this plan specifically targets debt reduction and decreasing financial leverage. The business that would be sold by the Clariane Group comprises 8 HAD sites and 3 SSIAD agencies employing more than 300 people and generating sales of approximately €46.5 million in 2023. The completion of the transaction is contingent upon finalizing the legal documentation and obtaining the transfer of administrative authorizations from the relevant health authorities. Additionally, the process of informing and consulting the appropriate employee representative bodies has already been initiated. Drawing upon their diverse areas of expertise, the 70,000 employees within the Clariane Group work every year to serve almost 900,000 patients and residents across three primary business areas: care homes (Korian, Seniors Residencias, etc.), healthcare facilities and services (Inicea, Ita, Grupo 5, Lebenswert, etc.) and alternative living solutions (domiciliary care and shared housing) (Petits-fils, Les essentielles, Ages et Vie, etc.).
