A proverb that describes me...

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." — Albert Einstein

What sets me apart as an Authorized Senior Living Advisor...

I am someone who values listening, empathy, and creativity, especially when it comes to seniors. For me, integrity, dignity, respect, and fairness are fundamental values when choosing a retirement home. Having accompanied my grandparents, the most significant older adults in my life, in their search for a retirement home, I understand that it can be difficult to know all the options available and that this task can quickly become burdensome and complex. I believe that we all deserve to be able to count on someone during an important stage in our lives; I offer to be that person who will support and guide you through this process.

The ideal Senior Living Advisor, in my opinion...

She is empathetic and works to identify your needs and find a place that will allow you to maximize your potential. Every senior is different, and every situation is unique. It is important to ask the right questions and listen carefully to the answers in order to quickly find the senior residence that is right for them.

For me, Visavie is...

A team of skilled professionals who facilitate an important life transition. They also have 30 years of experience in the field, a network of partners comprising more than 150 retirement homes in the Laval area, and dedicated advisors.

The Key to My Success

My simple 4-step approach

I listen

I take the time to understand your loved one’s situation and your priorities: level of independence, care needs, budget, location, timeline, and lifestyle preferences.

I find options

I identify residences that truly meet your criteria and those of your loved one, and then I present you with a tailored selection along with key information so you can easily compare them.

I join you on your visit

I coordinate visits with care facilities and help you ask the right questions, verify the services offered, and assess whether the facility is a good fit for your loved one.

I support the move.


I’ll be available until the final decision is made and throughout the transition process to help facilitate the next steps and provide follow-up support as needed after you move in.

At Visavie, we take the sense of urgency seriously.

As soon as I receive the first call, I’ll be right there with the senior and their family to begin the search for the perfect new living environment!
