Placing a loved one at Selena residence is the beginning of a new chapter filled with life, human warmth, and exciting experiences. Every day is an opportunity to thrive, connect with others, and enjoy life to the fullest, despite the challenges of losing autonomy or facing neurocognitive disorders.
Daily Activities For All Tastes
Life takes on a whole new meaning at Selena residence. Our recreation coordinator and team of dynamic activity leaders offer tailored activities seven days a week that are adapted to each resident's changing abilities. We have something for everyone’s tastes, whether it's stimulating memory, staying active, being creative, or simply socializing.
Here is a brief overview of our different activities:
- Festive activities: karaoke, bingo, “Let’s Dance!”, theme days

Each activity is designed to nurture the body, heart, and mind in a warm, inclusive atmosphere. Programs vary according to the seasons, residents' preferences, and availability to meet everyone's actual needs.
Testimonial: “A second family for our mother”
“We were looking for a place where my mother could socialize, thrive, and live her remaining years to the fullest. This living environment is incredible, and the sense of community is like a second family for my mother. She is doing much better now than she was four years ago. People often say that when someone moves into a new environment, their physical or cognitive abilities may decline. In my mother’s case, it’s the absolute opposite!”— Stewart Lamont, son of Micheline Martin
This testimonial shows that Selena is more than just a home; it's a living environment where residents can make sense of their lives with caring, and dynamic people.
Stimulation: the foundation of well-being
Our approach is based on cognitive, physical and social stimulation. Each activity is designed to promote well-being, help residents maintain their abilities, develop new passions, and stay connected with themselves and others.
Selena believes that life can be fulfilling, beautiful, and meaningful, even in the face of challenges. Choosing our residence for your loved ones gives them the opportunity to begin a new chapter in a dynamic, respectful, and genuinely human environment.
