Residence Du Vieux Beauport

About Residence Du Vieux Beauport

Nestled along the historic Avenue Royale in the Beauport district of Québec City, Residence Du Vieux Beauport offers a truly unique approach to supportive housing for adults living with mental illness. Set within a well-established residential neighbourhood rich with community character, this facility brings together around fifty residents across five adjacent houses, creating a living environment that feels far more like a neighbourhood of homes than a traditional care setting.

Living Options & Care Levels

Residence Du Vieux Beauport is designed to meet each person where they are. Rather than offering a single, one-size-fits-all approach, the facility carefully evaluates each resident’s individual strengths, daily needs, and level of independence before determining which of the five houses is the best fit for them. This thoughtful matching process means that residents are placed in an environment calibrated to support their specific situation, making the transition into the residence as smooth and comfortable as possible. Over time, as a resident’s needs or abilities shift, the structure of support can adapt accordingly. The goal is always to help each person maintain or build greater independence, while ensuring they have consistent, reliable support around them. Residents who are more self-sufficient may manage many aspects of daily life on their own, while those who need more hands-on help can count on trained staff to assist with medication, personal budgeting, daily routines, and more. This flexible, individualized approach means the residence can genuinely grow with each person’s journey.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

Daily life at Residence Du Vieux Beauport is built around routine, comfort, and connection. Residents gather for three meals a day, prepared by a cook who is on site seven days a week, and there is an afternoon coffee break that brings a moment of warmth and togetherness to each day. The café setting creates a natural gathering point, a place where residents can relax, chat, and simply enjoy a quiet moment with neighbours. Beyond mealtimes, the residence works to foster a sense of belonging and shared community living. Staff are present throughout the day and evening, which means there is always someone nearby, not just for practical support, but for human connection. During the school year, college students completing placements in specialized education join the team, bringing fresh energy and additional engagement to daily life. Laundry is taken care of on a regular schedule at no extra cost, and housekeeping is handled weekly, so residents can focus on living rather than managing chores.

Why Residents Choose Residence Du Vieux Beauport
