The Maison des Aînés de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu is located on land beside the Gertrude-Lafrance CHSLD (a residential and long-term care centre). The construction of an additional three floors, equipped as three separate units, adds 192 beds for increasingly dependent senior citizens.
This new concept in health care provides multiple services along with access to specialists, allowing residents to enjoy their latter years with dignity and respect. Epsylon is happy to have been chosen by the contractor, EBC, to participate in this institutional project.
This seniors’ and alternative home is made up of eight living units with twelve beds each. 84 of those beds are reserved for senior citizens, while the remaining 12 are kept for adults with special needs.
This type of living situation is designed to feel more like home, mainly by offering a friendlier environment with indoor and outdoor areas that are specially adapted to the changing needs of residents and their loved ones, and being open to the community. The contractor, Pomerleau, chose Epsylon for this institutional project designed to improve quality of life for our most vulnerable populations.
The long-debated mega-hospital project on the site of the Hôpital de l’Enfant-Jésus is making good progress. The new construction has a surface area of 174,983 m2 and a total cost of $2.24 billion. All work on the project is expected be completed by 2029.
Eventually, the new hospital complex will unite the Hotel-Dieu de Québec and the Enfant-Jésus Hospital in a single location. It will become a reference centre in Québec for all kinds of specialties, including nephrology (kidney disease), neurology (diseases of the nervous system), oncology (cancer), traumatology (physical injuries and serious accidents) and severe burns. Epsylon is proud to contribute to this public health project that puts patients and employees at the heart of its design.
