In March 2019, the Arpavie residence “Le stade” opened its doors after facing several disagreements between municipal elected officials.
Five years later, residents, families, caregivers, the residence teams as well as the mayor Gérard Trémège, his deputies, Andrée Doubrère, Véronique Dutrey and several members of the Arpavie head office came to celebrate the event.
“I can clearly see today that the dynamic director Caroline Crouau has risen to the challenge brilliantly,” emphasizes Gérard Trémège. “Her work, but also that of her team, has helped transform this place into a friendly, caring place.”
Exhibitions, filming, introduction to various sports, there was no shortage of activities. Thanks to the support of the regional council and the Tarbes town hall, the projects for the independent living facility will continue to flow. And the residents know it well. “We really like the team at the residence” confided one of the residents, Mrs. Barthélemy.
“She listens to us and is attentive to our needs. Between Caroline, Florence, Nadège and her smile, Maité our little island bird, Hélène the professional, Maria the charming and reserved assistant and Nathalie never short of ideas to entertain us, we are spoiled.”
And it was also with a bouquet of flowers for each member of the team and an original song, written and played to the tune of “Mandolines tarbaises”, that the residents sang for the staff of the residence in the company of the group The crazy Mix.
There you have it, a real proof of love.
