Best Lanaudière retirement homes & communities

The Lanaudière region offers several low-cost private retirement homes. These facilities must be certified by the Ministry of Health and Social Services of Quebec, ensuring a safe living environment and high-quality services for seniors.

These retirement homes are located in various municipalities across Lanaudière, including Mascouche, Terrebonne, Repentigny and L'Assomption, providing a wide range of options tailored to the needs of seniors.

The retirement homes that are certified by the Ministry of Health and Social Services of Quebec welcome autonomous and semi-autonomous seniors, and those with mild loss of autonomy, as well as seniors who require specialized care. These retirement homes also offer accommodations for seniors with cognitive losses such as Alzheimer's disease, or those recovering after a hospital stay.

The Lanaudière region benefits from a well-structured healthcare network, managed by the CISSS de Lanaudière, which facilitates access to medical services for seniors. Notable facilities include the Centre hospitalier de Lanaudière, Pierre-Le-Gardeur Hospital, and several CLSCs such as the CLSC Lamater in Terrebonne and the CLSC de Joliette, which provide nearby medical follow-ups. The region is also home to 22 CHSLDs and four Maison des aînés, such as the Maison des aînés de Mascouche, Maison des aînés de Repentigny, Maison des aînés de L'Assomption and Maison des aînés de Sainte-Élisabeth.

To determine the most suitable type of accommodation, a social worker conducts an assessment of the senior's autonomy. Thanks to the Home Support Service (SAD), seniors receive structured support in finding the retirement home that best meets their needs.

From a financial perspective, several measures are available to help support seniors living in retirement homes. The tax credit for home support helps reduce service-related costs, while the Old Age Security pension payment schedule makes it easier for seniors to plan their budget.
