Maison L'Étincelle, Lachenaie
Private Seniors' Residence (PSR)
Find the spark every day !
Reminiscent of Holland's "alzheimer's house" concept, this private residence is located in Terrebonne and can accommodate seniors with cognitive diseases, such as dementia and Alzheimer's.
This large complex of three houses has 144 places and of this number 96 are reserved as intermediate resources to the public. Each household has its living space: living room, balcony, kitchen, bathed in light.
Quality care is provided by highly specialized staff and the ratio of 1 employee to 4 patients will ensure personalized follow-up to needs. The goal is to preserve the quality of life and the autonomy of residents so that they can live at their own pace.
All staff members have followed the continuing education program by Philippe Voyer, a leading researcher related to the field of cognitive disorders in gerontology.

Reviews and comments
of reviewers recommend this residence
Comme première visite, personnel accueillant à l'entrée. Belle écoute de la part de M.Grégoire. Il répond à nos questions et il connaît vraiment les besoins des gens avec des troubles cognitifs. C'est rassurant! Durant la visite, les résidents ont l'air content et bien. L'atmosphère est paisible. Un milieu de vie bien pensé. Une cour extérieure aménagée avec balançoire, jardin, foyer, poulailler et module de jeux pour les petits-enfants en visite. Nous croyons faire un bon choix pour mon papa.
Questions and answers
Après plus de 6 mois, je suis déçue de cet endroit. Le roulement incessant du personnel rend difficile l'adaptation pour les résidents et leurs familles, avec un manque flagrant de communication entre les quarts de travail. La propreté est également un problème, et malgré nos efforts pour établir des liens stables, les employés disparaissent sans explication, perturbant les résidents et leurs familles. Ce cycle de réadaptation est épuisant pour tous, avec des conséquences pour les résidents qui perdent leurs repères du jour au lendemain.
