Maison du Soleil Association
Community Life
An inclusive approach at Maison du Soleil
Giving meaning back to everyday life
At Maison du Soleil, we believe in the power of simple acts and their ability to nurture each person’s well-being and autonomy. More than just a place to live, our shared home is a space where every resident can, if they wish and according to their abilities, actively participate in daily tasks. We are committed to putting residents back at the center of their lives, allowing them to regain a meaningful role and contribute, at their own pace, to the collective dynamic.
The Associative System
A collective commitment to everyone’s well-being
La Maison du Soleil operates under a nonprofit associative model based on values of solidarity, sharing, and collective responsibility. This system, which places residents and their families at the heart of the structure, ensures transparent and participatory governance while providing unique benefits for the well-being of the residents.
An association where every member has a place
From the moment they join the home, each resident, along with their family, automatically becomes an active member of the association. This participation allows them to:
- Contribute to collective decisions: Members can take part in general meetings and voice their opinions on the association’s directions and projects.
- Strengthen the community bond: This involvement fosters a dynamic of cooperation and trust between residents, their families, and the support teams.
A setting for collaboration and innovation
Emergence of new ideas
By actively involving families and their elders, the association benefits from a variety of proposals to improve quality of life.
Human Governance
Decisions made collectively ensure that every action meets the real needs of our seniors.
Sustainable Support
As an association, Maison du Soleil can apply for public and private grants, accept donations, and establish partnerships with other organizations to ensure sustainable and ethical operations.
Why choose an associative model?
Garantir l’équité et la transparence
As a nonprofit association, all resources are fully reinvested in the well-being of the residents, the improvement of facilities, and support for caregivers.

Every financial decision is made collectively, after consulting stakeholders, and made accessible to all members to ensure transparency and equity.
Supporting people facing financial difficulties
A portion of the funds raised through donations and grants is used to assist residents or families facing financial difficulties.
This inclusive model ensures that no one is left behind due to economic constraints.
Providing additional services
The associative model allows for offering services tailored to the residents’ needs, whether specific activities, individual support, or community projects.
It also opens the door to partnerships with local stakeholders to enrich the residents’ experience.
“Because our elders deserve the best, we offer nothing we wouldn’t accept for ourselves.”
