About CHSLD de Saint-Laurent

Situated in the heart of Saint-Laurent, a vibrant and well-connected neighbourhood in Montreal, CHSLD de Saint-Laurent offers a place where seniors with significant care needs can feel genuinely at home. Spread across five floors with 147 private rooms and 16 shared rooms, this publicly operated long-term care residence is built around the idea that quality of life matters just as much as quality of care.

Living Options & Care Levels

CHSLD de Saint-Laurent is designed to support seniors who require a high level of daily assistance and continuous medical attention. The residence is equipped to care for individuals living with significant loss of independence, including those with neurocognitive disorders such as dementia. Specialized units are in place for residents who have a tendency to wander or who are at risk of leaving the building unsupervised, as well as for those experiencing behavioural challenges associated with neurocognitive conditions, ranging from mild to more serious presentations. Around-the-clock medical care is provided by a team that includes nurses, licensed practical nurses, and personal care attendants, with physicians available for both scheduled visits and on-call coverage at all hours. This level of consistent, attentive care means that as a resident’s needs evolve over time, the support surrounding them can adapt accordingly, offering families the reassurance that their loved one will not need to move again as their condition changes.
