- Emeis SA, formerly Orpea SA, operates as a leading European provider of long-term care services, specializing in nursing homes, post-acute and rehabilitation clinics, psychiatric hospitals, and assisted living facilities for vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly; its core offerings encompass comprehensive medicalized retirement homes (EHPAD), services d'aide à domicile, senior service residences, and day hospitals across a network of over 1,000 facilities. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Puteaux, France, the company conducts operations in approximately 20 countries, primarily in Europe including France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, the UK, Ireland, Spain, Italy, and select markets in Latin America such as Brazil, Mexico, and Uruguay, as well as China. Emeis targets elderly residents requiring dependency care, patients in rehabilitation or mental health treatment, and those needing home support services, with a focus on delivering a continuum of personalized care pathways.
In recent developments, Emeis rebranded from Orpea in March 2024 following a major financial restructuring led by the Caisse des dépôts et consignations (CDC), which assumed control and diluted prior shareholders, enabling the company to reduce its substantial debt burden accumulated amid 2022 scandals. The group has accelerated its asset disposal program, completing sales of operations in Chile and the Czech Republic for €171 million in late 2024, offloading a portfolio of senior residences in France for €160 million in November 2025, and divesting real estate in Ireland and the Netherlands, progressing toward a €1.5 billion disposal target by end-2025 while aiming to lower its asset holding rate to 20-25%. In September 2025, Emeis formed a real estate joint venture with Farallon Capital and TwentyTwo Real Estate, injecting €761 million to securitize assets and cut net debt by €700 million; operationally, it reported H1 2025 revenue growth of 6.2% on a like-for-like basis, with EBITDA up 79%, positive free cash flow of €26 million, and occupancy rates recovering to 88% by Q3 2025, reflecting improved margins and cost controls.
