Nestled along the chemin de la Canardière in Québec City, Résidence Faubourg Giffard sits in a part of the city that feels both connected and calm. Close to the downtown core, the neighbourhood of Beauport, and the natural beauty of Domaine de Maizerets park, this residence offers retirees a setting that balances everyday convenience with a peaceful sense of community. Faubourg Giffard is a private seniors residence managed by Cogir Résidences, designed to feel less like a facility and more like a place where life continues to be rich, social, and well-supported.
Faubourg Giffard is designed with flexibility in mind, recognizing that what a person needs today may be different from what they need a year from now. The residence welcomes retirees who are independent as well as those who are semi-independent and may benefit from some assistance with daily living. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, the residence offers à la carte personal care services, meaning residents and their families can choose the level of support that fits their current situation. This approach allows people to settle in and build a life here, with the reassurance that additional help is available if and when it is needed. Apartment options range from studio-style one-and-a-half room units to more spacious five-and-a-half room floor plans, giving residents the ability to choose a home that truly suits their lifestyle. All apartments are eligible for the Québec home support tax credit offered through Revenu Québec, which can help offset monthly costs.
Life at Faubourg Giffard is shaped by the spaces and experiences that bring people together. The dining room is a bright, welcoming place where residents gather for meals, and the à la carte dining options mean that food remains a pleasure rather than a routine. The bistro adds another layer of social life, offering a more relaxed setting to meet neighbours, enjoy a coffee, or simply spend time in good company. For those who want to stay active, the fitness and wellness centre provides a space to move and feel well, while the spa and hair salon offer moments of relaxation and personal care. Beyond these confirmed amenities, the residence also features a wide range of shared spaces including a pool, a billiards room, a library, a cinema room, a patio, outdoor swings, pétanque, and an activity room, so there is always something to look forward to regardless of one’s interests. The outdoor courtyard and garden areas give residents a place to enjoy fresh air and the changing seasons in a safe and beautiful environment. Social programming and leisure activities are woven into daily life, helping residents build friendships and stay engaged.
Choosing a retirement residence is one of the most personal decisions a family can make, and what draws people to Faubourg Giffard often goes beyond the list of amenities. It is the feeling of walking in and sensing that this is a place where people genuinely look out for one another. Families find comfort in knowing their loved one is surrounded by dedicated professionals whose focus is on well-being and quality of life. For residents themselves, it is about continuing to live fully, staying socially connected, and having the freedom to do things on their own terms while knowing support is close by. The residence is part of the Cogir Résidences network, which brings with it a commitment to human-centred care and a culture that values warmth, creativity, and going above and beyond for the people who call it home.
