Learn More About senior Care in Moncton

Moncton is New Brunswick’s largest city and its commercial and economic hub, having overtaken Saint John in population in the 2016 census. It sits in southeastern New Brunswick near the head of the Bay of Fundy, and its growth over the past two decades has been driven by its role as the logistics and distribution centre for Atlantic Canada, the expansion of post-secondary institutions, and significant immigration that has made it one of the fastest-growing cities in the region. Moncton is also the unofficial capital of Acadian francophone culture in New Brunswick, with a substantial francophone community in the city and its twin municipality of Dieppe.

Private vs Public Mix

New Brunswick has both publicly operated and privately operated (for-profit and not-for-profit) nursing homes and adult residential facilities, all licensed under the same provincial Act. Adult residential facilities provide a less intensive level of care than nursing homes.

The city’s senior population at approximately 19 to 20 percent of residents sits near the national average, reflecting a growing city with a mix of younger working adults and established residents aging in place. The bilingual character of the Moncton-Dieppe-Riverview area is meaningful for families searching for senior living. Vitalité Health Network administers francophone healthcare services in the region, including access to French-language nursing homes and residential care. Horizon Health Network covers the anglophone population. For families where language of care is important, confirming which network governs a specific facility and whether services are available in the preferred language is an early step in the search.

New Brunswick’s Nursing Homes Act and the Department of Social Development govern licensed nursing homes and adult residential facilities across the province. Access to publicly funded placements in the Moncton area is coordinated through the relevant regional health network following an assessment. The Moncton area has two hospital systems reflecting the bilingual population: the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre (francophone, operated by Vitalité) and the Moncton Hospital (anglophone, operated by Horizon Health Network). Both provide acute care, and the presence of two hospital systems in one city is a unique feature of the Moncton healthcare landscape.

Moncton is served by Codiac Transpo, a conventional bus network, and Moncton Airport offers direct service to Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, and select other destinations. VIA Rail has a station in Moncton on the Ocean service (Montreal to Halifax), with several departures per week in each direction. This is one of the better VIA Rail connections among the Atlantic Canadian cities in this series. Highway 1 connects west to Saint John and east toward Sackville and the Nova Scotia border.

The broader Moncton urban area includes the adjacent municipalities of Dieppe and Riverview, both of which have senior living facilities that are as accessible to families as those in Moncton proper. Dieppe in particular, which is predominantly francophone, has senior care options that specifically serve French-speaking seniors. Families searching the Moncton area should consider listings across all three municipalities as a single regional market.
