La Maison de Tara offers an alternative to hospitalization for people at the end of life who wish to experience this key moment in a non-medicalized, warm atmosphere

La Maison

A non-profit, lay foundation recognized as being of public benefit, La Maison de Tara opened its doors in 2011 thanks to the support of communes - in particular that of Chêne-Bougeries - and generous donors.

Our vision is for everyone to experience the end of life with humanity and dignity. We believe in the importance of training those who are called upon to accompany a loved one affected by chronic illness, disability or at the end of life.

We believe in the importance of training.

We believe in the importance of the group and in accompanying the end of life within the community, as has long been the case until the advent of medicalization."
