Day care centre (CSJ)

A day care centre (CSJ, centre de soins de jour) welcomes people who live at home: they come for the day — two or three days a week, or every day — and go home at night. Resthome runs it as a sector of its own, next to the rest home or without it.

A day at the centre

  1. In the morning, the users arrive: tick them in the Day care register before 13:00, when the register closes to arrivals.

  2. Care, tasks and medication are planned only for the users expected that day.

  3. At the end of the month, the billing counts the days recorded: the forfait to the health insurer, the day price to the user.

  4. Once a year, the staffing norm says whether the forfait of the billing year is due in full.
