ORELIA (Belgium)
Based on many years of experience in the senior care sector in Belgium, Orelia operates a range of residential care facilities that provide an appropriate form of accommodation or care focused on the quality of life of residents. More than 1,300 residents in Belgium receive premium care in 17 retirement homes and assisted living centres, and more than 1,000 people work in them.
The history of Orelia dates back to 1979. After many years of successfully operating various nursing homes, the company decided to build their own facilities, and in 1992, was founded under the name R&S Projects. R&S acted as a construction coordinator for nursing homes and assisted living facilities. At the end of 2016, R&S underwent a complete transformation and all activities were consolidated under the umbrella of the Orelia brand.
SYNERPA (France)
SYNERPA was established in June 2001 as the merger of three federations: UNEPPA, FNEAPAD, and FFEHPA. This new national union of establishments and residences for the elderly, which federates both commercial and non-profit entrepreneurs, brings its own influence to the sector. SYNERPA is the only organisation in France which represents for-profit and non-profit providers. This political commitment has been strongly affirmed by SYNERPA, as the two components of the private sector are becoming less and less relevant today in terms of the quality of services and the definition of subsidies.
The entire sector is represented by SYNERPA, where everyone deserves their own right place.
Teso (Finland)

The association’s member companies represent Finnish SMEs working with population segments including the elderly, people with disabilities, children, and young people, as well in the area of substance abuse and mental health rehabilitation.
