Senior Living in Quebec

Depending on their level of independence, seniors can choose from numerous living options in Québec. Those requiring assistance - from housekeeping services to 24-hour skilled care - can find such services in continuing life care, congregate living, rehabilitation centers, assisted living, Alzheimer's care, and nursing care facilities. Seniors able to live independently can find housing in active adult retirement, independent living, and golf communities.

The Québec health and social services system oversees senior living options. Within the state-wide system, each local services network provides health and social services centers that promise appropriate senior care for its population. Since the state acts as the principal insurer and administrator of services, the Quebec health and social services system is public. Funding is based on general taxation.
