The building is organized on 3 levels accessible to people in wheelchairs: 2 living units and 1 lower ground floor reserved for medical activities. The 1st floor is made up of 2 wings distributed on either side of the atrium.
The atrium, the heart of the units, opens onto collective spaces: dining rooms, activity rooms … The lower ground floor brings together the infirmary, the physiotherapy room, the offices of psychologists, psychomotor therapists, occupational therapists and doctors; There is also the sensory space, balneotherapy as well as a room reserved for relaxation and relational touch. At this level, a large and flexible multipurpose space allows the development of various activities and highlights of the institution (parties, residents’ meetings, meetings with families)
