What if you helped us design a more inclusive society?

Located in the Vevey region, between city and countryside, the City of Juniper welcomes adults with disabilities due to an intellectual deficiency. A multidisciplinary and multi-site structure, it offers the residents a particularly harmonious living and working environment as well as a set of skills adapted to the needs and aspirations of each individual.

Integrated into the Eben-Hézer Foundation, the City of Juniper is the custodian of the moral testament of its founder, Sister Julie Hofmann. In this capacity, she considers the happiness of the residents as the ultimate goal of her actions.

Mission

The "L'Olivier" group

is a living space welcoming adults with intellectual disabilities, most of whom also have multiple disabilities. They require individualized support that promotes well-being, particularly through care and activities centered around the 5 senses. In this context, the staff actively participate in outings, sports and cultural activities, as well as various leisure activities and holiday camps.

Accompanying a person with multiple disabilities at L'Olivier means:

Accepting the meeting where everyone communicates in their own language, being the "resonance" of the other;

Substituting words with gaze, touch, breath, song, smile, joy of living;

Recognizing the limits of words, finding a balance between being and doing; daring to simply be;

Being humble, practicing daily discovery, wonder, supposition, being inventive, creative;

Giving and receiving, showing respect, authenticity;

Committing for the long term.

Caring is not enough; one must build with the other;

Accepting that the person who does not express themselves still thinks and acts in their own way;

Recognizing that one is in service of a human being, who enjoys the same rights as oneself.
