La Maison provides support and relief to the individual at the end of life, with respect and dignity, in a calm and warm environment.
Provision of human services
La Maison has a capacity of 12 beds. The accommodation for each individual is a very comfortable private room. There are several service areas at their disposal, as well as for their loved ones: lounge, dining room, library, outdoor patio, etc.
Accommodation at La Maison is a service provided at no cost for the duration of the individual’s stay. La Maison purchases their medication on their behalf; however the costs are covered by the individual’s private insurance or the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ).
Care and services are provided 24 hours a day by our interdisciplinary team comprised of physicians, a pharmacist, a social worker, nurses, practical nurses, nursing assistants, volunteer caregivers and support staff. They work together to improve the inbdividual’s comfort and quality of life. In addition, other advocates, whether for spiritual support or for complementary approaches to care, join the team to adequately meet all of the individual’s needs. All the care and services provided reflect the values and philosophy of La Maison.

Provision of services to family members
La Maison considers the family as members of the caregiving team. They are the significant people patients have chosen to be near them. With them being welcomed in a family-style living environment, their needs, as they relate to the loss of a loved one, are integrated into the caregiving program and are generously met by the interdisciplinary team.
Care and services are organized so as to respect the privacy of family members, for whom it is possible to personalize their loved one’s room and to sleep there if they wish to do so. They are supported and encouraged to take part in the caregiving and support of their loved ones in their final days, according to their capacity and the latter's wishes.
Service areas are made available to family members so that they can experience the daily activities and highlight special events that may occur during their stay.
Following their loved one’s passing, they will be offered support services. If required, they will be referred to specialized services.
Visiting hours
Visitors of all ages are allowed at all times. The number of visitors allowed is unlimited. It is up to the patient to set that limit as per their wishes. However, visiting hours must take into account the patient's needs and not hinder the collective tranquillity. For safety reasons, visitors are asked to sign the attendance register upon their arrival and departure.
