HISTORY

Welcome to Réseau Sélection

Réseau Sélection has been developing and managing retirement home complexes for over 25 years. A pioneer in the sector, the company enjoys a unique structure in Canada and is active today throughout Quebec : 30 residences in operation or under construction, with close to 3,000 employees serving the needs of some 7,500 residents whose satisfaction rate remains among the highest in the industry. In addition to revitalizing and enhancing their quality of life, Réseau Sélection has also developed healthyID®, a lifestyle program focusing on prevention and awareness for adopting healthy daily habits so that residents “live better, longer.”

Between now and 2020, Réseau Sélection will invest $2 billion in the construction of 30 new residential complexes, bringing its total number of units to 18,000.

Réal Bouclin, président et chef de la direction

Our mission

To dedicate each day to improving the well-being of our clients, employees and partners by developing and enhancing their lifestyles, and by upholding our commitment to prevention, ethics, respect, kindness, integrity, creativity and excellence.

Our vision

To be the leader in the development and management of exceptional residences that promote a dynamic lifestyle within our communities through an innovative and preventive approach to healthcare.

Social responsibility

We value each and every community and have created close ties with local organizations across the province. Thanks to the commitment of our residents and employees, all of our residences are frequently involved in organizing and holding public fundraising activities as a way of giving back.
In addition, the company holds the annual Réseau Sélection Ball, which is an opportunity to thank our clients for their loyalty and honour the numerous volunteers among them for taking an active role within their residences and at partner community organizations.

Humour, Environment, Activities, Lifestyle, Technology, Healthy Eating

Health is one of the founding principles behind Réseau Sélection’s mission. As an expression of this vision, the company created the H-E-A-L-T-H model, which includes fundamental aspects such as Humour, Environment, Activities, Lifestyle and the Healthy Eating. By implementing this model at each of our residences, Réseau Sélection ensures that the well-being of our clients remains a top priority in our everyday activities.

In concrete terms, Réseau Sélection residences apply this program by creating stimulating and dynamic living environments in which technology is everywhere, supporting residents in their daily activities. We also pay special attention to nutrition and ensure that our kitchens serve balanced meals. Additionally, a team of seasoned recreational technicians offer our clients a suitable and diverse program of activities.

Multiple health services in a single facility

Réseau Sélection is proud to introduce our healthyid Zone, designed to promote the health and well-being of residents. This initiative supports the company’s vision and drive to create innovative healthcare practices that help retirees maintain an active and independent lifestyle.

healthyid Zone is a home to several essential health service providers : kinesiologist, naturopath, pharmacy, foot care clinics, gym, osteopaths, medical samplings and nursing care. These zones have been included in the following residences : Le Sélection Laval, Rosemont Les Quartiers, Vanier Les Quartiers and Vice Versa Châteauguay.

A meaningful partnership with the Anciens Canadiens de Montréal

Since 2006, Réseau Sélection has been a proud partner of the Anciens Canadiens de Montréal. Through this partnership, we provide former Montreal Canadiens players with the opportunity to retire in one of Réseau Sélection’sexceptional residences. Here, they enjoy a wide range of services and fun recreational activities. They also benefit from the HealthID program, which promotes prevention and healthy living—values that mean a lot to these accomplished athletes and to all of us at Réseau Sélection.

CERTIFICATION

This means that they meet the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services’ criteria, which fall into three categories: information, organization and practices. A certificate attests to the fact that the private seniors’ residence is in compliance with all the criteria listed in the application manual, the conditions for obtaining a certificate of compliance and the operating standards for private seniors’ residences. At Réseau Sélection, you will find the highest quality standards.
