Living spaces on a human scale
Several new senior housing facilities are currently under construction in Quebec in Châteauguay, Chicoutimi, Roberval, Alma, Sherbrooke, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Rivière-du-Loup, L’Assomption, Laval-des-Rapides, Mascouche, Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Mirabel, Prévost, Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Mégantic, Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, and Lebourgneuf. As part of these projects, Beaubois is responsible for the fabrication and installation of cabinetry. The goal of each center is to create living environments on a human scale by offering, among other things, air conditioning and private rooms. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
According to Ministers Marguerite Blais and Andrée Laforest, these residential care facilities will feel like home while encouraging social interaction and a more active lifestyle. To create this welcoming environment, the project calls for the development of accessible outdoor spaces and indoor facilities better suited to residents’ needs.
In addition, the project manager at Pomerleau says the goal is to achieve LEED Base certification. In fact, in addition to triple-pane windows, the project includes a landscaping strategy designed to ensure that one-third of the site area is reserved for green spaces.
