About Chez Jeannette

Chez Jeannette is a Paris-based operator of shared homes for seniors, an alternative to traditional nursing homes built around small, staffed houses rather than large institutional facilities. Each home takes in eight to ten elderly residents in a converted house, combining private bedrooms with shared living spaces and a professional team present day and night, a model the company frames as human-scaled, supportive and inclusive. It positions itself in the senior co-living and assisted shared-housing segment, targeting fragile older people who want a domestic setting while retaining as much autonomy as possible. According to the backer's portfolio disclosures, the network has grown to roughly fifteen houses accommodating close to one hundred seniors, spread across the Paris region and other French cities including Rueil-Malmaison, Garches, Colombes and Bordeaux.

Ownership journey

Chez Jeannette was founded in 2020 in Paris by Gary Martins and Alexandre Blanc, who set out to offer frail older people a home-style alternative to conventional care institutions. About a year after creation the company closed a first seed round of close to EUR 1 million, drawing in institutional and private backers to fund its early expansion. Cedre Capital, investing as an evergreen holder, backed the business from 2021 and is listed as a current portfolio company. Cedre Capital remains an active shareholder, and no exit or secondary transaction has been recorded.

Under PE ownership

The seed capital raised around 2021 was earmarked for opening new houses and building the operating team needed to run them day and night. Since the investment Chez Jeannette has scaled from a handful of early homes to roughly fifteen houses hosting close to one hundred residents, extending beyond central Paris into surrounding suburbs and regional cities. The company has signalled further ambition, with the backer noting a plan to triple its reception capacity as it adds sites and converts additional residences into shared senior homes. Growth has been operational rather than financial engineering, driven by the roll-out of new houses and the staffing model that underpins each location.
