The ARRELIA group
Matthieu Blanc, a former clinic director, founded the company ARRELIA in 2007. The company's name comes from the word "Arrels," which means "root" in Catalan. Mr. Blanc believes that many elderly people are completely independent and still able to manage their homes on a daily basis. He believes that the concept of Senior Service Residences is perfectly suited to these active people who do not wish to move into a traditional retirement home.
He first purchased the Perpignan hotel Le Mas des Arcades and decided to turn one of the hotel's parts into a senior service residence in Perpignan. This establishment now offers 47 apartments for seniors, with hotel services, a 24-hour reception, entertainment, catering, concierge services, and security. This is how the concept of Senior Services Residence by Arrelia was born.
The expansion of the group
After a few years, the group grew with the Résidence Bleu Lormont in Bordeaux, then the Résidence Bleu Castillet in Perpignan. In 2014, the group continued its expansion with the Résidence Cœur Comédie in Montpellier. This serviced residence for seniors also adjoins a hotel.
Oc’Santé
The ARRELIA group has joined forces with the Oc’Santé group. The latter has developed extensive experience in the health and medico-social establishments sector. For several generations, it has brought together around twenty establishments. Oc’Santé brings us its know-how and its network, supporting the life of our residences.
