Maisons des aînés

The reconstruction of two CHSLDs within our territory is inspired by the maison des aînés (MDA) model and is part of a major transformation of residential and long-term care facilities taking place across Québec.

The Centre d’hébergement Denis-Benjamin-Viger and the Grace Dart Extended Care Centre are the two facilities whose outdated infrastructures will be replaced.

In time, these two new facilities will allow us to integrate a new concept in long-term residential care. The aim is to create residential settings that feel more like home, to the benefit of both the residents and their loved ones.

Location of future facilities

• The facilities will provide caring living environment that resembles living at home to the greatest extent possible, centred on the relationships between residents, their loved ones, informal caregivers, the staff, and the community;
• This new model for residential facilities is a welcoming place where care and services are centred on the needs, preferences, and rhythms of the residents and their loved ones;
• Architecturally, the facilities will consist of air-conditioned units with private, air-conditioned rooms with their own bathroom, equipped with an adapted shower;
• Each unit will have plenty of windows, common areas, and access to landscaped outdoor areas and balconies.

The CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal, in collaboration with the Société québécoise des infrastructures (SQI) and the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS), wants to keep its partners and the community informed throughout the project.
