Résidence Robert Dobie

1940 Jolicoeur St, Montreal, Quebec H4E 4M2, Canada

Life at Résidence Robert Dobie feels comfortable, neighbourly, and refreshingly straightforward. Located at 1940 Jolicoeur Street in southwest Montreal, Quebec, this non-profit residence has been offering affordable, quality housing to retired and pre-retired individuals since it first opened its doors in July 1986. Formerly known as Résidence Holy Cross Residence, the community has grown into one of the most well-regarded senior housing options in its part of the city, shaped by decades of thoughtful upkeep and genuine care for its residents.


Living Options & Care Levels

Résidence Robert Dobie is designed specifically for independent, active seniors who are able to manage their daily lives on their own. The residence does not provide meal services or on-site health care, making it the right fit for those who value their autonomy and prefer to live without the structure of a full-service care environment. For residents who do require health support, care is available through the local CLSC, which serves the surrounding community. This model puts residents in control of their routines while giving them access to professional health resources nearby when needed. With 81 apartments spread across a six-storey building, there are several apartment types available to suit different needs and preferences.

The building is entirely smoke-free, creating a clean and healthy atmosphere for everyone who lives and visits here. On each floor, residents have easy access to laundry facilities, making it simple to keep up with household routines without leaving the building. A resident superintendent is on-site to keep things running smoothly day to day. For those who enjoy getting outside and staying active, the nearby public swimming pool offers a wonderful way to stay moving, and the surrounding green spaces and parks invite residents to enjoy the outdoors at their own pace. Social connection is also part of life here, with card games, bingo, and bridge club available for those who enjoy a little friendly competition and good company. Parking is available on-site for residents and visitors who arrive by car, and a covered walkway leads directly to Holy Cross Church for those who value that connection.
