Residence L’Amitie is designed for retired and semi-retired seniors who are ready to enjoy a simpler, more supported lifestyle without giving up their independence. Residents live in their own private apartments and have the freedom to manage their daily routines on their own terms. At the same time, the residence provides a strong layer of support around them. A nurse is available around the clock, seven days a week, and a physician visits once a week on-site. Personal care attendants are also part of the team, meaning that as a resident’s needs shift over time, there is already a foundation of professional care in place. Each apartment is equipped with an intercom connected directly to the health services team, and residents can also wear a personal emergency alert bracelet or pendant for added peace of mind. Whether someone is fully independent today or anticipates needing more support down the road, L’Amitie is structured to provide consistent, attentive care every step of the way.
Life at Residence L’Amitie is shaped by the people who live there, and the sense of community runs deep. Residents gather over chef-prepared meals in the dining room, where lunch and dinner are served daily. The dining experience is flexible by design, residents can choose to eat in the dining room or prepare their own meals in their apartment, and payment options are equally accommodating. Beyond mealtimes, the on-site hair salon gives residents a convenient place to take care of themselves without leaving the building. The residence also has a swimming pool, a billiards room, and spaces for painting and creative pursuits. Organized social events are a regular part of life here, from seasonal celebrations to friendly games of shuffleboard and bingo. Resident committees play an active role in shaping the community, making sure activities and programming reflect what the people who live here actually enjoy. There is a chapel on-site as well, which holds special meaning for many residents and reflects the spiritual roots of the community. A minibus service is available to help residents get out and explore the neighbourhood or attend appointments, keeping daily life connected and mobile.
Families and seniors choose Residence L’Amitie because it feels like a place where people genuinely look out for one another. The residence was founded on values of friendship, warmth, and dignity, and those values are still felt in the way staff and residents interact every day. For adult children, knowing that a nurse is available at any hour and that their parent is surrounded by an engaged, caring community brings real peace of mind. For residents themselves, the appeal is the balance of freedom and support, the ability to live life on their own terms while knowing help is close at hand. The involvement of the Sisters of Sainte-Marcelline, who have administered the residence since its founding, adds a sense of continuity and trust that is not easy to find. This is a place where people come not just to be cared for, but to belong.
The location along Boulevard Gouin Ouest places Residence L’Amitie in a peaceful, nature-facing setting while keeping residents well-connected to the services they need. The Hopital du Sacre-Coeur de Montreal is nearby, which is reassuring for residents and families alike. A Jean Coutu pharmacy offers multiple daily deliveries directly to the residence, and an IGA grocery store also delivers, making it easy to keep apartments stocked without needing to travel. Shopping centres and restaurants are accessible in the surrounding area, and Highway 13 is close by for family members visiting from across the region. The residence’s own minibus service adds another layer of accessibility, helping residents reach destinations in the community without relying on others for transportation. For families visiting from out of town, the northwest Montreal location is straightforward to reach, and the riverfront setting makes every visit feel a little more special.
