Humanitæ
Private Seniors' Residence (PSR) - High-end
A stimulating environment adapted to individual needs !
The retirement home Humanitae of the Heritage Group, which has 170 units (separated in “houses” of 12 to 15 residents each), is located in Quebec City and is adapted for residents suffering from memory loss. This seniors' residence offers a continuum of services to people suffering from cognitive diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, according to the evolution of their symptoms as well as the needs of parents and caregivers. The complex is divided into 12 prosthetic units according to the severity of the cognitive disorders.
This is a unique residential environment, since residents have access to a program of daily occupational activities adapted to their condition. At Humanitae, 36 theme rooms were created to recreate memories: travel, music, children's room, workshops / DIY / art, laundry room, garage with old car, etc. In addition, residents can help perform tasks, for example, a gentleman who likes to fix things can do it in Humanitae, since he is at home. The residence is on the lookout for innovations, there are acoustic and heat detectors, which identify where the movements come from (mainly at night), allow to intervene more quickly when needed.The menu is balanced and follows the recommendations of Canada's Food Guide. For example, steak, potatoes and broccoli, sweet and sour pork bites, small stick pie, quiche tortilla, etc.

Nous avons été très déçus de notre expérience dans cette résidence prétendument "haute gamme". Le traitement réservé à notre père a été très décevant. Le transfert s'est effectué très rapidement et nous n'avons pas eu l'opportunité de faire nos recherches préalables. Aucune communication ne nous a informés de la nécessité d'identifier ses vêtements et de les laver. De plus, une fois l'évaluation terminée, une date a été fixée pour son départ, avec seulement une semaine pour trouver une autre résidence. Le jour du transfert, nous avons été choqués de constater l'état déplorable dans lequel se trouvait notre père : il portait des vêtements souillés qui ne lui appartenaient pas, une partie de son linge était manquante, sa chambre était mal entretenue avec des planchers collants et une odeur désagréable. Nous avons été contraints de partir avec lui dans cet état, sans sous-vêtements. Heureusement, sa nouvelle résidence a pris immédiatement le relais et a exprimé leur mécontentement à l'égard de l'état dans lequel il a été transféré. Nous sommes soulagés de l'avoir sorti de cette situation et estimons que nos aînés méritent bien mieux.
