Humanitae is dedicated entirely to seniors living with memory loss and major neurocognitive disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. This is not a general senior living community with a memory care wing added on. The entire residence, from its physical layout to its staffing model, has been built specifically for people experiencing cognitive decline. The team at Humanitae supports residents through every stage of their condition, adapting care as needs evolve over time. Beyond residential living, Humanitae also offers a support centre that provides a range of flexible services for families and caregivers. This includes day respite stays, in-home accompaniment for a few hours at a time, and short-term convalescence stays that include supervision and care. Families who are not yet ready for full-time placement, or who need occasional relief, can access this continuum of support at whatever level makes sense for their situation.
Life at Humanitae is rich with opportunity. Residents can start their morning with a visit to the bistro, where the atmosphere encourages social connection and a sense of familiar routine. For those who want a little pampering, the spa and hair salon offer moments of relaxation and personal care that help residents feel like themselves. The environment extends well beyond those spaces, with generous indoor and outdoor gardens where residents can walk, sit, and connect with nature. A large interior courtyard, a fishing pond, a nature corner, a piano bar, a general store, and private family kitchens and lounges all contribute to a world that feels lived-in and real rather than institutional. Terraces invite residents outside in comfortable weather, and the overall design encourages residents to continue pursuing their interests and passions. Family members are not just visitors here. They are considered true partners in each resident’s well-being, and the spaces and culture at Humanitae are designed to make families feel genuinely welcome every time they walk through the door.
Families searching for memory care often face a difficult reality: most traditional senior residences are not designed to truly support a person living with Alzheimer’s or significant cognitive decline. The environment, the routines, and the staffing are not built for it. Humanitae exists precisely to fill that gap. Every safety measure, every staffing decision, and every design choice has been made with the specific challenges of memory loss in mind. Groupe Patrimoine has brought together professionals recognized in the medical and health community both in Québec and internationally to shape the approach at Humanitae. Security features and dedicated accompaniment staff provide consistent oversight, giving both residents and their families genuine peace of mind. For families, knowing that their loved one is in a place that was built for exactly this stage of life, and supported by people who truly understand it, brings a sense of relief that is hard to put a price on. The commitment here is long-term, steady, and centred entirely on the dignity and comfort of each person who calls Humanitae home.
Humanitae sits in the Lebourgneuf area of Québec City, a well-developed and accessible part of the city’s north end. Boulevard Lebourgneuf is a busy, service-rich corridor with shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences close by. The neighbourhood has a modern, suburban character with good road connections that make it easy for family members coming from across the greater Québec City area to visit regularly. The area is well-served by transit and surrounded by the kind of practical infrastructure that families appreciate when they are making frequent trips to see a loved one. For residents, being located in a lively part of the city means the world outside the residence is always present and accessible, contributing to a sense of connection to the broader community even as the residence itself provides a calm, secure, and carefully managed environment.
