Identify my needs, an essential step
In order to begin your search for a retirement home, it is essential to know your needs. These will be a determining factor in the budget available for rent and will influence the choice of location of your future living environment.
To help you, make a list of your specific needs to establish the services and activities that will be necessary for your well-being.
Make a budget to know my financial capacity
Having a good idea of your budget is a great starting point to begin your search for a retirement home. The good news is that this exercise is much simpler than it seems.
To do so, determine your sources of income and your expenses in order to obtain a price range corresponding to your financial capacity. Set the values by month since the costs of rents in retirement homes are calculated in monthly payments.
During your search, you will find that each residence offers prices that include different services. By knowing your expenses and your habits, you will be in a good position to make comparisons and to better evaluate your choices.

Determine the town where you want to live
The location of your future retirement home has a big impact in your decision. You will live there for a long time and it is also there that you will make new friends, contributing to your quality of life.
Be flexible and open to new possibilities; maybe the retirement home of your dreams is in the city next to the one you are looking for. Quebec is full of beautiful municipalities that all have beautiful things to offer.
Good to know…
Keep in mind that many retirement homes offer services within the residence, such as a pharmacy, a convenience store, a hairdressing salon, a bank service, etc. These services can help you avoid frequent travel and can influence your choice of location.
