Private Residences for Seniors in Quebec: Issues and Opportunities

Résidence Saint-Eugène

Monday 27 May 2024
From 2:30PM To 4:30PM

In Quebec, the COVID-19 pandemic has focused on the precarious situation in which seniors live. In a recent study, Mélanie Bourassa Forcier, professor at Université de Sherbrooke, and her research team examined the various models of private seniors residences (known as RPAs in French) and the issues that jeopardize access to housing or services in RPAs, the quality of these services, and the very survival of some RPA models.

In the report « Les résidences privées pour aînés (RPA) au Québec : enjeux et opportunités », the authors conclude that the administrative and regulatory burden—which has increased considerably in recent years—is directly related to (1) the issues involved in providing RPA services in Quebec and (2) the closure of RPAs, particularly small RPAs.

The authors will present their study on Monday, 27 May at 2:30 p.m. at the Résidence Saint-Eugène in Montreal. The presentation will be followed by a discussion period with Mélanie Bourassa Forcier and her team, providing a unique opportunity to exchange and ask your questions.
