Family services
The final moments we spend with our cherished loved ones are so incredibly precious. This is precisely why we offer our patients’ family members the possibility of staying by their loved one’s side 24 hours a day, in accordance with their own wishes and those of our patients during this final stage of life.
Parking is always free at the Residence and visitors are welcome to enjoy our delectable meals at a minimal cost.
We also consider the well-being of friends and family as important as the
well-being of our patients. As such, psychological support services are available to those who need them. These services are offered throughout
our patients’ stay with us and are delivered through one-on-one or family meetings with our psychosocial coordinator.
Our patients’ families continue to receive the psychological support they need throughout the grieving process, either through phone calls or one-on-one meetings over the course of the year that follows the passing of their loved one.
In memory of… tribute evenings
To mark the one-year anniversary of their loved one’s passing, families of former patients can take part in a special tribute evening along with other families whose loved ones also stayed at the Residence, either over the course of the previous year or prior.
These meetings serve as a therapeutic tool through which participants can share their experience with others who are experiencing similar emotions and feelings.
At the start of the evening, each participant is given a candleholder handmade from tissues, representing the tears that flow through grief. The candles are lit during the evening as a symbol of the light shining through the darkness.
