Since its constuction, the magnificent building has had several uses. From 1935 to 1948, the convent has been affiliated to the Université de Montréal et taught the Lettres-Sciences course. From 1948 to 1966, the establishment became École Normale Esther-Blondin which trained female teachers to the B and C certificates. Then, in 1967, it became home for the female students level IV and V of Collège Bourget. It was the property of the Sœurs de Ste-Anne until 1994. Today, it is a residence for elderly people.


Our mission is to give elderly people a homelike environment while ensuring safety and allowing them to stay autonomous. Our 52 rooms residence is located in Rigaud, with access to nearby leisure activities the municipality offers.

    Beautiful place to live in. Nice surroundings. Friendly. They go out of their way to make residents comfortable.

    Terrible!
    Anonymous (Close relative) - October 3 2023

    They advertise for care of people with dementia but, in my experience, this is not the case. This is a sub-standard senior care facility, in my opinion. Low staffing levels. Staff that quit every couple of months. I’ve noticed that the top floors have very little supervision. I’ve experienced constant inconsistencies with the monthly billing, that always needs correcting. If you have and love your family member who suffers from dementia/Alzheimer's, I do not recommend it. There are many complaints about this place, sent via the CLSC.
