An Evolving Residence That Accompanies You Every Step of the Way
One of the prides of this evolving residence is to allow seniors to have peace of mind that they have found a living environment in which they can evolve. It is also a very popular element among couples! Knowing that everyone's state of health may not evolve in the same way, it is very reassuring to know that in such a case, they could live in the same place. When you come back from a trip or a stay outside, don't you find it soothing to be able to find yourself in your space? It is this same feeling of peace of mind that you will find in this Drummondville residence. Your home, your space!
Throughout the year, residents are closely monitored and benefit from personalized support. It is through these follow-ups that it will be possible to determine the evolution of the care necessary for each one. This care includes a personalized care plan for each resident, regular monitoring of the residents' state of health by a registered nurse, close management of medication and much more. L'Ermitage is the ideal place to obtain personalized support to evolve with dignity.
Safety First
To be able to socialize, have fun and thrive, you must first have the feeling of being safe. At the L'Ermitage residence, everyone's safety is a priority. This is why there is a medical staff available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to the staff available, the living environment is equipped with a surveillance camera system to ensure the integrity of everyone. The residence has an alarm system directly connected to the fire station in addition to having a sprinkler system. Something to feel safe about!
To be able to circulate easily, the residence has taken care to equip itself with wide corridors, facilitating the movement of seniors in wheelchairs or using a walker. Each apartment and each living space is equipped with an emergency pull cord so that staff can be called quickly if necessary. For the care units, a wandering control system has been put in place to prevent cases of running away. This system works because of coded doors which limit accessibility to certain places and to the external doors. Both by the vigilance of the staff on site and by the quality of the facilities, residents know that they are in good hands when it comes to safety.
A Welcoming Living Environment
The evolving residence L'Ermitage is a family business that offers 215 apartments at affordable prices. This living environment for seniors also includes services adapted to autonomous and semi-autonomous seniors. A care unit for people with cognitive loss, including Alzheimer's, is also available. Different accommodation options are offered at L'Ermitage. Do you want to free your mind? The all-inclusive package takes care of everything (three meals a day, laundry, housekeeping). Maybe instead you prefer to manage yourself, but appreciate having options? A multitude of à la carte services are available for you, so you can select only what you need.
With its training rooms, activity room, pool table, hair salon, pharmacy, convenience store, place of meditation and outdoor terrace with swing, boredom is not part of everyday life at this residence! All the accommodations you want can be found within the living environment. Moreover, these different spaces are accessible to autonomous people and people with reduced mobility. It is also easy for everyone to get to the floors thanks to the elevator system. At the Résidence L'Ermitage, everyone benefits from a pleasant setting and practical daily equipment.
Ranging from studios to 4 1⁄2, there is plenty of space in the units of this RPA. Unlike many studio units, those in this residence have a well-defined kitchen area with counters and cabinets. Residents say that the layout of the space is very pleasant and allows for better organization of the environment. How can you miss the spacious 3 ½ ? With more than 600 square feet of surface area, these units are perfect for single seniors or couples who want a new, accommodating living environment. For people with cars, each unit comes with a parking space included. Every apartment has patio doors and a balcony. Whatever your needs, you will find the ideal unit to make you feel at home!
During your last move, localization was probably an important element for you. You will be happy to learn that the residence for seniors has a most advantageous geographical position. 10 minutes from downtown Drummondville, a multitude of shops and social services are nearby. In terms of health care, the CLSC Drummond is only a few steps away, the Sainte-Croix hospital and several pharmacies are also within a 10-minute walk. Grocery stores, restaurants, and public markets are also nearby. Want to go further? No worries, access to public transport is only at the end of the street.
Enjoy a Family Spirit
One of the things that comes up with each visit is that “the residence has a soul,” says Daniel Lemay, general manager of L'Ermitage. This feeling is created by the family spirit in this living environment. As at home, it is possible for residents to have complete management of their schedule. And what about meals? This residence offers a three-meal formula with two menu choices, lunch and dinner. That's not all. Aware that it can happen that we have a taste for novelty, an à la carte service containing other menu choices is offered. With their table service, when visitors see the dining room, they can only compare it to that of a restaurant. Mouth-watering! All this autonomy contributes to the positive energy of the place and makes it a real home.
