Visit us… without leaving your seat
I chose to live at Ambiance because it’s a welcoming place and there are lots of shops nearby. We no longer needed a car after we moved here, so we sold it! We also appreciate the sense of safety we get here, and the fact that we no longer have to worry about our home’s maintenance. We’ve also made a lot of friends, and we always share a meal together on festive occasions. We’re proud to live in a place where the staff are kind and compassionate. We feel important because we are listened to. I wouldn’t live anywhere else!
Gaston Charland, resident at Ambiance
When I first visited, I was charmed by the warm welcome I received from all the residence’s representatives. I’m really touched by the compassionate atmosphere here. The staff are so kind and welcoming, and they always listen. I feel safe here, and the organized activities are exceptional. My lifestyle has changed a lot since I moved into Ambiance. I’m very pleased with my choice!
Lolo Nohra, resident at Ambiance
Ambiance is a people-centred seniors’ residence. That’s why we chose to live here. That, and the fact that it’s so close to the central district of Nuns’ Island. Thanks to all the shops in the vicinity, we enjoy a good quality of life. We also enjoy the variety of activities on offer and the option to eat in when we choose to. Plus, the staff are very kind, devoted and generous! The residence allows us to be independent while also feeling taken care of when needed, and that is something we’re particularly pleased with. We’re proud to invite our friends and family to visit us at Ambiance!
