Why Choose Region of Laval for your place of living
- Access to Care: Laval has several healthcare resources, including the Hôpital de la Cité-de-la-Santé, which is part of the public healthcare system. Hospital and community services address a variety of needs, but the care available and wait times vary depending on each person’s situation. Proximity to medical services and support resources is therefore an important factor to consider when choosing a place to live.
- Proximity to Family: Located north of Montreal, Laval comprises several residential neighborhoods and areas with diverse characteristics. Seniors can explore different housing options while taking into account proximity to their loved ones, their lifestyle, and the services they need.
- Transportation and Independence: The Société de transport de Laval (STL) operates the city’s bus network. Laval is also served by the Montreal metro, specifically at the Cartier, de la Concorde, and Montmorency stations. A paratransit service is available to eligible individuals whose limitations significantly impair their mobility. Routes, schedules, and eligibility requirements should be verified based on individual needs.
- Cultural and Community Life: Laval offers a variety of local resources and activities, including libraries, parks, recreational facilities, and cultural activities. Opportunities vary by neighborhood and the programs offered. These resources can help seniors pursue their interests, participate in local life, and maintain social connections.

How can I quickly find a spot in a retirement home in Laval?
The fastest way is to work with a senior living advisor who knows which Laval residences currently have openings. Visavie offers this support free of charge, 7 days a week, with targeted options from the very first call.
Searching on your own means calling one residence at a time without knowing which ones actually have a vacancy. When a fall or a hospital stay has just turned everything upside down, those lost days weigh heavily. With Visavie, an advisor takes the time to understand the level of independence, care needs, budget, preferred area and timeline. She then presents a selection of residences that truly match these criteria, organizes the visits and stays by your side until move‑in day.

How much does a retirement home cost in Laval, and what financial help exists?
The price depends on the type of unit and the care required, with assistance services often added to the base rent. In Quebec, seniors aged 70 and over can recover part of these costs through a refundable tax credit.
This is the tax credit for home‑support services for seniors, administered by Revenu Québec. It covers a portion of the services included in the rent of a private seniors’ residence, such as housekeeping, meal preparation or personal care. The amount varies based on level of independence, family situation and income. A useful detail for families facing an immediate jump in expenses: the credit can be received through advance payments rather than waiting for the income tax return.
Visavie presents residences that fit your real budget and clarifies what is and isn’t included in the rent, so there are no unpleasant surprises. Our financial assistance page for Quebec brings together the other programs available.
Which Laval residence is best for a loved one with cognitive loss?
Choose a private seniors’ residence with a unit adapted to cognitive impairment: secure access, trained staff and stable routines. Visavie identifies Laval residences that offer this type of unit and have spots available.
Some signs show that staying at home is becoming risky: wandering, disorientation, a stove left on, doors left unlocked at night. At that point, safety comes first.
During visits, ask these questions:
- How are exits secured?
- How many staff members are on duty at night?
- Which activities are adapted to cognitive disorders?
- What happens if their health deteriorates?
That last question is essential. An evolving residence often avoids a second move, which is very unsettling for someone living with cognitive impairment. Visavie advisors accompany you on visits to confirm these points with you. To learn more, see our page on private residences for cognitively impaired seniors.
Which Laval neighbourhoods should I look at to stay close to family?
The best area is the one that cuts travel time for the relatives who will visit most often. Visavie covers all 13 sectors of Laval and focuses on those that make life easier for the whole family.
Located just north of Montreal, Laval lets many adult children stay close to their parent. The southern sectors, near the Cartier, de la Concorde and Montmorency metro stations, are convenient for families living on the island. Chomedey alone was home to 29% of Laval’s seniors in 2016 according to the City of Laval’s seniors portrait (in French), which explains its wide range of services.
Sectors served:
- West: Sainte‑Dorothée, Laval‑Ouest, Fabreville, Laval‑sur‑le‑Lac, Îles‑Laval
Can a senior living in a Laval residence still get around independently?
Every private seniors’ residence must hold a certificate of compliance issued by the Government of Quebec and be listed in the Register of private seniors’ residences. Visavie advisors help you confirm these points before the very first visit.
According to Québec.ca, certification guarantees, among other things:
- A call for help system
- A fire safety plan
- Recreational activities adapted to seniors
- Meals that follow Canada’s Food Guide
These residences are overseen by Santé Québec, which can inspect them at any time. Certification is still a minimum, though: the atmosphere, meal quality and staff stability can only be judged on site. That’s why Visavie accompanies families on visits to ask the right questions.
