Authorized Senior Living Advisor

A proverb that describes me...

The day when you can no longer live alone, every hour becomes urgent.

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

What sets me apart as a housing consultant is my ability to combine practical expertise in the healthcare system and the network of private senior living facilities with a deeply human and personalized approach. Having worked at the Ministry of Health and Social Services as well as the CHUM Foundation, I understand the challenges associated with senior housing. Furthermore, my personal experience as a caregiver for my 88-year-old mother has given me firsthand insight into the emotional and logistical challenges of finding a suitable living environment. I am deeply committed to finding the best possible living environment for each person, whether they are independent or losing their independence.

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

In my opinion, the ideal housing counselor is someone who is attentive, empathetic, and knowledgeable about the healthcare system and resources available to seniors. They know how to build trust with families, understand the specific needs of each senior, and support them with respect and kindness throughout the process. Their role goes beyond finding a residence: they ensure that the chosen living environment promotes the dignity, safety, and well-being of the senior.

For me, Visavie is...

For me, Visavie is a beacon that guides families when everything becomes unclear, the peace of mind that comes from knowing you are not alone, restoring confidence in a fragile moment in life.

The Key to My Success

My human approach, combined with my organizational skills and sincere commitment to the well-being of seniors, allows me to offer support that is effective, respectful, and deeply human.

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!
