The North Shore region of Montreal has several seniors' retirement homes.
On the North Shore of Montreal there is a wide availability of private residences for seniors. The many hospitals, as well as the proximity of specialized care services, facilitate access to the various health services. The CISSS des Laurentides, Laval and Lanaudière cover the territory of the North Shore of Montreal. Several profiles of seniors can be found within the same residence: some are autonomous, semi-autonomous (with a slight loss of autonomy) and others live with cognitive loss/Alzheimer's or even require health care. Several CHSLDs are also nearby.
