Over the years, Fondation de France extends its work to the development of palliative care and contributes to highlighting this major issue. Two laws follow, one on ensuring access to palliative care, the other on patients’ rights and the end of life, enacted on 9 June 1999 and 22 April 2005 respectively.
Fondation de France sets itself the objective of facilitating the management and creation of more person-centered care homes for the elderly. It supports a number of temporary housing facilities and creates a “caring at home” scheme in the Aveyron department. It also publishes a report, Des lieux de vie jusqu'à la mort (Living spaces and end of life) which triggers the launch of a national campaign in 1984.
Fondation de France supports initiatives organized by social workers, which offer young people access to the world of work. These social enterprises are officially recognized in 1985.
