The story of Association Les Minimes is one of compassion, dedication, and continuous evolution. Since our founding, we have been committed to providing comprehensive care and support to vulnerable individuals in Decize and the surrounding region. Our history reflects decades of commitment to human dignity, social inclusion, and holistic care.
Our journey began with a clear vision: to create safe and supportive environments for individuals who require assistance, guidance, or social support. From our earliest days, we have focused on combining professional care with human warmth and empathy. Over the years, this approach has enabled us to expand our services, develop new programs, and establish a reputation as a trusted and compassionate organization.
Throughout our history, we have prioritized the growth of our team, the development of our facilities, and the establishment of programs that respond to evolving community needs. Our multidisciplinary team has grown to include healthcare professionals, social workers, coordinators, and volunteers, all working together to provide holistic support and ensure the highest standards of care.
Key milestones in our history include:
- The establishment of our first medico-social facility, which provided safe, professional, and supportive living spaces.
- Expansion of programs to include social engagement, personal development, and recreational activities that foster independence and community participation.
- Implementation of training and professional development initiatives to ensure that staff remain equipped with the latest knowledge and best practices in care and social support.
- Partnerships with local authorities, organizations, and the wider community to enhance the services we provide and extend our impact.
Our history is not only a record of achievements but also a reflection of our ongoing commitment to respond to challenges with adaptability, compassion, and integrity. We continue to honor the values that have guided us from the beginning—dignity, respect, inclusion, and human solidarity—while seeking new ways to improve and expand our services.
The legacy of Les Minimes is carried forward each day by our staff, volunteers, and partners who share our dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
