Sometimes, people experiencing a loss of independence can no longer live safely in their home despite the services and support provided by their family members and various organizations. It then becomes necessary to consider other living environments or a residential placement. This section provides an overview of the residential care resources available in the region for this portion of the population.

Types of residential care resources available

• Intermediary resources (IR) and family-type resources (FTR)
• Residential and Long-Term Care Centres (CHSLD)

How do I access the services?

These services are available through the central access point for independence supports for seniors (Guichet d’accès centralisé du soutien à l’autonomie des personnes âgées).
