Problem
Many seniors face challenges in maintaining their independence and safety at home due to mobility issues, home layouts, and difficulties performing daily living activities. Traditional approaches to address these challenges can be fragmented and difficult to navigate, leaving seniors and their families struggling to find appropriate solutions.

Additionally, they offer tele-ergotherapy services for remote consultations and ongoing support, as well as assistance with navigating financial aid programs for home adaptations. Through their "Repère ToiT" service, Merci Julie also provides assistance with project management for home adaptation work, coordinating the various professionals involved to ensure a seamless process.
