Our projects are aimed at adults under the age of 50, who have a physical motor disability while having the ability to manage their personal, professional and social lives and who wish to live independently in an apartment.

We want to give these people the opportunity to enjoy an autonomous life and contribute to society by providing them with continuous physical support 24/7.

The term residential (home) collective and community services is the term that best describes ÉquiToît. In fact, we offer home support services to adults with motor impairments who are able to live independently with adequate support. These adults enjoy an adapted apartment, grouped with other apartments in the same building. The grouping within the same building allows the pooling of services.
