An order published in Official Journal on 12 December 2019, presents the new template for a single application for temporary or permanent admission to a residential care facility for elderly dependants (Éhpad).
In order to simplify the administrative procedures for older people and their family caregivers, the same single application file for admission to Ehpad now takes into account both day, night and temporary accommodation.
The dossier has also been updated on medical and legal protection aspects for adults.
Reminder
Only one application is required to complete simultaneous applications for admission in more than one Ehpad.
This dossier shall include:
An administrative component to be completed by the applicant or any authorized person (family, trusted person, social worker, person in charge of legal protection...). It shall be signed by the applicant or his legal representative.
A medical component to be completed by a doctor. This part must be sent in confidence to the coordinating doctor of the establishment, who may issue an opinion on the possibility for Ehpad to receive the applicant with regard to the care capacity of the establishment.
