Nestled along the lakeshore in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, CHSLD Bayview Inc sits in one of Montreal’s most established and welcoming West Island communities, where tree-lined streets and a strong sense of neighbourhood make it a natural setting for a place that genuinely feels like home. For more than 65 years, Bayview has been a trusted part of this community, offering older adults the care, comfort, and dignity they deserve in a warm and supportive environment.
Living Options and Care Levels
At CHSLD Bayview, care is understood as something that should grow and adapt alongside each person’s needs. The facility offers long-term care for adults who require ongoing, daily support due to a loss of independence, providing a stable and secure home where every resident is known by name and treated as an individual. For those in the final chapter of their lives, palliative care is also available, delivered with the same compassion and respect that defines everything Bayview does. Whether a resident arrives needing consistent daily assistance or requires comfort-focused end-of-life support, the team at Bayview is prepared to walk alongside them and their families through every step of that journey. Each resident receives a personalized care plan developed collaboratively by an interdisciplinary team that includes care staff, management, volunteers, and community partners, always in partnership with the resident and their loved ones.
What You’ll Love About Living Here
Daily life at CHSLD Bayview is shaped by the small moments that make a place feel like home. Residents gather in comfortable common areas where conversation flows naturally and friendships have room to grow. Mealtimes are a highlight of the day, with three chef-prepared meals served in inviting dining rooms where good food and good company come together. For those who feel a little hungry between meals, snacks are available at any time, so no one has to wait long to feel cared for. The recreation team organizes excursions and outings that give residents the opportunity to stay connected to the wider community and enjoy new experiences beyond the facility’s walls.

Behind the scenes, general housekeeping and laundry services keep everything clean and orderly, so residents can focus entirely on enjoying their days rather than worrying about chores.
