Types of Care in Quebec

Seniors in Quebec that are no longer able to remain in their homes and living independently have access to residential and long-term care, rehabilitation centres, general and specialized hospital centres. In addition to assistance, these facilities provide supervision and clinical care for seniors.
Multigenerational Homes
Senior care in Quebec is governed by Quebec health and social services and this is unique from other Canadian provinces in that private residences for seniors must be registered with 'Registry of residences for the elderly'.

In this type of arrangement, families are able to care for aging parents and/or adult children in a single-family home that includes two independent dwellings. In addition to the concept of helping seniors to live at home, the multigenerational home allows for financial and social support between generations.
