    About Secure Care Units in Quebec

    At Chartwell, our secure care units support individuals living with dementia in a way that’s as personal as it is professional. We understand the challenges families face and are here to offer comfort and guidance, starting with care that respects each resident’s unique story.

    Residents receive support with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, meals, and medication management—just to name a few—all delivered with warmth and consistency. But beyond this, it’s the human connection that matters most. Our staff take time to get to know each person, learning about their preferences and routines to help them feel seen, understood, and valued.

    Each secure care unit provides round-the-clock staffing and a safe, structured environment designed to reduce stress and enhance well-being, both for residents and the families who love them.

    Choosing a Secure Care Unit in Quebec

    Choosing memory care is a deeply personal decision, often made during a time of stress or uncertainty. Our secure care residences in Quebec are here to help ease that process with warmth, clarity, and trusted care.

    How Much Does Secure Care in Quebec Cost?

    Costs for memory care services in secure care units in Quebec can vary based on location, suite type, and level of care. At Chartwell, we offer inclusive pricing for meals, utilities, and core care services, with à la carte services available for an additional fee. These may include enhanced personal care or specialized health services, depending on each residence.

    Importantly, many families benefit from Quebec’s Tax Credit for Home-Support Services for Seniors. This refundable tax credit can reduce monthly expenses for eligible seniors living in private retirement residences. We can help walk you through the eligibility and application process so you understand what financial support may be available.

    Is There a Waitlist for Secure Care in Quebec?

    Some secure care units may have waitlists due to increasing demand. We recommend reaching out early, even if you’re just exploring options, to better understand current availability and start the application process in a low-pressure way.

    Where possible, we may be able to offer temporary or respite care as an interim solution until a longer-term suite becomes available.
