The CISSS de l’Outaouais’s establishments urgently require several small pieces of equipment that are essential to the performance of recurring tasks carried out by care professionals
On February 24th, our Director General Jean Pigeon was accompanied by Marguerite Blais, Minister for Seniors and Informal Caregivers; Mathieu Lacombe, Minister of Families and responsible for the Outaouais region; and Josée Filion, President and Executive Director of the CISSS de l’Outaouais, to announce the province’s very first Maison des aînés seniors’ centre.
In order to support the CISSS de l’Outaouais in carrying out this project, the Foundation ceded, for the symbolic amount of $1, the land adjacent to the CHSLD Lionel-Émond, at the corner of Saint-Raymond and Lionel-Émond boulevards. This lot had been acquired by the Foundation in 2006 as part of a project to eventually build a facility dedicated to improving health care services for our population.
The Foundation’s participation will greatly facilitate the realization of this project. The lot alone, now worth more than $1 million, will serve as the cornerstone on which to make the innovative seniors’ centre concept a reality. In addition to this first facility being built in our region, the government has announced that it intends to implement the Maison des aînés concept throughout Québec by 2022.
The new seniors’ centre will provide a total of 72 additional spaces for seniors and persons with special needs.
Gatineau, September 20th 2021,
On September 20, the official groundbreaking ceremony was held to announce the start of construction of Gatineau’s first ever “Maison des aînés” nursing home and alternative housing facility.
The facility is expected to be completed by September 2022. It will provide 72 places in single rooms with adapted toilets and showers, in a people-centred living environment. Designed to replicate the comfort of home, the facility sports a more welcoming environment, with indoor and outdoor spaces better adapted to the changing needs of residents and their relatives, and increased integration with the surrounding community.
The Foundation is proud to have been able to contribute to this project by donating the land adjacent to the CHSLD Lionel-Émond to provide the population and staff with a safe and welcoming living environment.

PacVision units, medication bag verification devices based on pill recognition technology that can significantly enhance quality control and patient safety.
The CISSS de l’Outaouais’ establishments are in need of several small pieces of equipment that are essential to the performance of recurring tasks by care professionals.
The purchase of this equipment will keep residents in their living environment and avoid the transfer of patients to Ontario.
Thanks to the four newly acquired chairs, more residents can benefit from appropriate hygiene care and the staff can enjoy a safer working environment.
Interior design that feels like home can help create a stimulating and pleasant living environment and relieve loneliness by encouraging users to gather in common areas.
Currently, these four CHSLDs are not equipped to computerize the requests sent to the laboratory.
The acquisition of three electric exercise pedals for the Outaouais’s CHSLD nursing homes will provide staff with an additional tool to strengthen the users’ leg muscles and improve their mobility.
