Presentation

La Fondation accueille, accompagne et soigne 2 000 personnes (enfants, adolescents, adultes et seniors) en situation de handicap psychique, de polyhandicap/handicap rare, avec trouble du neurodéveloppement, ainsi que des personnes âgées ou personnes handicapées vieillissantes.
La Fondation John Bost a été créée en 1848 à La Force par le pasteur John Bost.
La Fondation est une institution médico-sociale et sanitaire (Établissement de santé privé d’intérêt collectif ESPIC) protestante privée à but non lucratif, reconnue d’utilité publique depuis 1877.
Elle dispose d’environ 2 000 places, réparties dans 42 établissements ou services médico-sociaux et sanitaires.
Actuellement, plus de 2 300 professionnels constituent des équipes pluridisciplinaires : médicale, paramédicale, éducative, psychologique, sociale, technique et administrative.
À la Fondation John Bost, nous accueillons sans exception, sans distinction, toute personne vivant avec un handicap. Nous œuvrons avec des professionnels, femmes et hommes, qui inventent chaque jour des lieux de vie, des lieux de soin et de sens.
