Abstract

Therapeutic coordination apartments are medical-social structures which provide accommodation to desocilialized people. For the last 25 years, the association Cordia has been supporting people with debilitating chronic diseases in situations of precarity. The multi-disciplinary approach also ensures that terminally-ill residents are taken care of right up until their last moments.

Keywords: accompagnement; appartement de coordination thérapeutique; chronic disease; multi-disciplinarity; pathologie chronique; pluridisciplinarité; precarity; précarité; support; therapeutic coordination apartment.
