The City of Saguenay has several low-cost seniors’ retirement homes.
In Saguenay, a large selection of retirement homes is available. The CIUSSS du Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean provides proximity to all health care services. Access to specialized care and to the Chicoutimi Hospital makes the retirement home life very pleasant and safe. Several profiles of seniors can be found within the same residence: some are autonomous, others need assistance for daily activities (with a slight loss of autonomy) and others live with cognitive loss/Alzheimer’s or even require convalescent health care. The Maison des aînés et alternative de Chicoutimi, located in the City of Saguenay, also welcomes seniors with a serious loss of autonomy.
