As the **National Day of Caregivers** approaches on October 6, Domitys, a major provider of senior service residences in France under the AG2R La Mondiale Group, is reiterating its commitment to supporting family caregivers. Through a survey on the mental health of caregivers, conducted in partnership with the media outlet Grand-Mercredi, Domitys has highlighted the challenges faced by those in caregiving roles and is offering practical solutions to assist them. The survey, conducted in the summer of 2026 with 300 participants, reveals the significant impact of caregiving on both health and personal life: - Nearly half (49.3%) of the surveyed caregivers reported experiencing total exhaustion or facing direct health consequences. Almost 85% said they suffer from emotional fatigue. - 81% of working caregivers said they lack personal time. - Over half (51.2%) identified the need to "find time for themselves" as a top priority, followed by the need for temporary support or a respite stay for their loved one (43%). - More than 55% of caregivers said they were unaware of their rights or found administrative procedures too complex. To address these needs, Domitys is committed to offering practical solutions daily through its range of services. The company emphasizes the importance of having dedicated teams, communal meals, daily services, activities, and wellness spaces to give caregivers essential rest periods. As the number of caregiver-recipient couples increases, Domitys is expanding its options, including temporary respite stays and permanent residences, to allow these individuals to maintain their connection while receiving the necessary support. This initiative is part of an ongoing collaboration with the AG2R La Mondiale Group. Since June 2026, Domitys has introduced respite stays developed in partnership with the Group, offering caregivers and their loved ones a break in a secure and welcoming environment. On the occasion of the **National Day of Caregivers**, Domitys residences across France will be open to families, offering practical support through various initiatives: - **Information and awareness workshops**: Free conferences will be held to help families understand their rights and simplify administrative processes related to home support or temporary stays. - **Free access to relaxation spaces**: Caregivers will be able to enjoy wellness facilities such as swimming pools, meditation and relaxation workshops, and hydro-massage beds, offering them a moment of respite. - **Respite solutions tailored to each situation**: The teams at the residences will be available to discuss individual needs and present the various respite options available within Domitys residences.
