CHSLD Laurendeau is designed specifically for seniors experiencing a significant loss of autonomy, meaning residents typically require substantial support with daily activities, personal care, and medical needs. This is a long-term residential care setting, not a retirement home or assisted living community. Residents benefit from private rooms with individual bathrooms, giving each person their own personal space within a fully supported environment. Medical oversight is available around the clock, with nurses, nursing assistants, and personal care attendants on site at all hours. Physicians are also available for scheduled visits and on-call coverage every hour of the day and night. Additional clinical support includes pharmacy services, oral health care provided by a dental hygienist and dentist, rehabilitation services delivered by a physiotherapy technologist and occupational therapist, psychosocial services, and access to external paramedical professionals such as an optometrist and foot care specialist. Palliative care is also available for residents and families navigating end-of-life needs.
Daily life at CHSLD Laurendeau is shaped by services that make each day feel comfortable and cared for. The on-site bistro gives residents a relaxed spot to enjoy a bite, share a conversation, or simply take a break from the routine of the floor. It adds a touch of everyday normalcy that many residents and their visiting family members appreciate. The spa and hair salon bring an added layer of personal wellness and dignity to the resident experience. Looking after one’s appearance and taking time for grooming can make a meaningful difference in how a person feels day to day, and having these services available within the building means residents do not need to travel or rely on outside appointments. Beyond these amenities, the facility also offers recreational programming, volunteer services, and spiritual care, all of which contribute to a fuller, more connected daily rhythm. Families are supported as well, with dedicated family spaces, laundry facilities available for family use, computer stations with internet access, and secure storage options available on request.
Families choosing a long-term care residence want to feel certain that their loved one will be safe, seen, and well looked after every single day. CHSLD Laurendeau provides that foundation through consistent, professional care delivered by a multidisciplinary team available at all hours. The breadth of services on site means that most of a resident’s health and personal care needs can be met without requiring transfers or outside appointments, which reduces stress for both residents and their families. The facility’s structured approach to medical care, rehabilitation, nutrition, and psychosocial support gives families confidence that their loved one’s overall well-being is being monitored holistically. Visits are welcomed at any time based on the resident’s condition, which allows families to stay closely connected and remain active participants in their loved one’s daily life. That openness, combined with the depth of care available, makes CHSLD Laurendeau a place where families can feel at ease with their decision over the long term.
CHSLD Laurendeau sits along Boulevard Gouin Est, one of Montreal’s most scenic and peaceful stretches of road. The facility is close to the waterfront, offering residents and visitors a natural, calming environment just steps from the building. Nearby cycling paths and the Parc de la Visitation give the area a distinctly green and unhurried feel, a welcome contrast to the bustle of central Montreal. The neighbourhood has a quiet residential character while still being well connected to the broader city. The facility is accessible via the STM bus network, and the Henri-Bourassa metro station is nearby, making it convenient for family members and friends traveling from across the island. Communauto car-sharing stations are also available close by for those who prefer that option. On-site parking is available, with a complimentary window for shorter visits and affordable rates for longer stays, so families can come and go without logistical worry.
