Maison des aînés et alternative de Blainville
The Maison des aînés et alternative de Blainville (seniors’ home and alternative home) is a public residential facility located at 650 Curé-Labelle Boulevard in Blainville, in the Thérèse-De Blainville RCM. Run by the CISSS des Laurentides, it opened in January 2024, and all 72 of its places are now occupied. It offers an alternative to the traditional long-term care nursing home (CHSLD), in a warmer, human-scale living environment.
The home has two components. The seniors’ home has 24 places for seniors with a major loss of autonomy. The alternative home has 48 places for adults living with a physical disability, an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder who need significant daily support. Residents live in 6 air-conditioned units of 12 places each. Every resident has a private room with a toilet and an adapted shower.
This type of housing feels more like home, encourages human contact and supports a more active lifestyle. Residents enjoy landscaped outdoor spaces and indoor facilities adapted to their needs and those of their families, who are encouraged to take part in daily life at the home. Admission is through the CISSS des Laurentides’ residential access mechanism (Mécanisme d’accès à l’hébergement).

Questions and answers
Mon frère souffre d’Alzheimer précoce il n’a que 56 ans et y est depuis décembre. C’est un endroit merveilleux, autant du côté de la bienveillance, de la nourriture, du confort et de la propreté. Les résidents sont très bien traités comme s’ils étaient à la maison. Le plus important , il respecte le rythme de chacun.
