Places Senior

About Places Senior

Located in the heart of Montreal at 1100 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Places Senior sits in one of Canada’s most vibrant and culturally rich cities, where seniors have access to world-class services, diverse neighbourhoods, and a strong sense of community. Since 2005, Places Senior has been a trusted resource for Quebec families navigating the often complex and emotional process of finding the right housing or care solution for an aging loved one. Rather than a traditional residence, Places Senior functions as a free advisory and referral organization, connecting seniors and their families with private senior residences and home care services that truly fit their needs.

Living Options & Care Levels

Every senior’s journey is unique, and the right housing solution today may look very different from what is needed a year or two from now. Places Senior understands this reality deeply. Their team of dedicated care advisors works with families to assess current needs while also thinking ahead, helping to identify residences that can accommodate a range of care levels as circumstances evolve. Whether a senior is largely independent and simply looking for a safer, more supported environment, or requires more attentive daily assistance, Places Senior guides families toward options that offer the right level of support at the right time. The goal is always continuity, comfort, and care that grows alongside the person. Please note that specific care types offered at individual residences are reviewed on a case-by-case basis during the advisory process, and a Places Senior counsellor can help clarify what each facility provides based on your loved one’s personal situation.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

One of the most meaningful aspects of senior living is the opportunity to remain socially connected, engaged, and part of a community. Places Senior recognizes this and, through its extensive directory of private senior residences across Quebec, highlights facilities that prioritize meaningful programming and daily activities. From creative arts like painting and music to cultural outings and group gatherings, the residences featured through Places Senior understand that quality of life goes far beyond physical care. Residents benefit from environments where the rhythm of daily life includes moments of joy, connection, and purpose. While the specific amenities of each individual residence vary, families working with a Places Senior advisor will receive detailed information about what each facility offers, including the types of activities and shared spaces available, so they can find a place that truly feels like home.

Why Residents Choose Places Senior

Choosing a senior residence for yourself or someone you love is one of the most significant decisions a family can make. It is rarely simple, and it is almost always emotional. What sets Places Senior apart is the genuine human care that runs through every part of their service. Families are not handed a list of options and left to figure things out on their own. Instead, a single dedicated advisor walks alongside them from the very first conversation to the moment a placement is confirmed, and even beyond. That continuity matters enormously during a time of transition. Families who have worked with Places Senior often speak to the relief they felt knowing they had someone knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in their outcome. With over 100,000 Quebec families served and a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from those who have used the service, Places Senior has built its reputation one family at a time. The service is completely free for families, which removes one more barrier during an already challenging time.
