Dedicated care facilities can accommodate homeless people who are in situations that may lead to neglect due to their social insecurity, psychiatric and/or cognitive disorders. This is the case of the reception and hospital care centre in Nanterre (92), in the Paris suburbs. The professionals there provide a humane welcome to people whose physical condition, health and hygiene are often very poor. Taking care of them is the richness of the experience.
