A new challenge for Dorothée Thépaut, autonomy advisor, who works at Ouihelp and with elderly people or people losing their autonomy for almost 2 years after a career in teaching.
Dorothée Thépaut, autonomy advisor, in charge of opening the Agen agency, comes from initial training in teaching: “after having been personally, like many, confronted with keeping a loved one at home , I became aware of the importance of taking care of our elders and the need to respect their choice to stay at home”. Dorothée, who fell in love with this profession, decided to join the Ouihelp adventure. “In terms of Ouihelp values, I completely identify with the demand for quality of service and kindness and in individual commitment and teamwork. Because everything depends on real teamwork between the different partners, beneficiaries, families, carers and medico-social professionals. I am keen to perpetuate the values of other Ouihelp agencies in France and to succeed in creating a caring team in Agen, by establishing relationships of trust.”
-Ouihelp Agen is the first agency in the department. In total, with this opening, Ouihelp covers 36% of seniors in the department by providing its services to both beneficiaries and their helping families. Ouihelp now has 126 agencies in France.
