ÉquiToît NDG

Our first project is located in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG) district of Montréal. It is integrated into a building which includes 100 apartments mainly intended for an Autonomy + clientele (55 years and over), in which eight apartments are reserved for EquiToît members.

The building has an accessible entrance and two elevators. Seven apartments are 3 ½ and one is a 4 ½. They have been adapted according to the needs of the person occupying them.

The project was developed in partnership with the Central-west CIUSSS of Montreal Island (CIUSSS-CODIM) which finances the project.

The services provided include :

• an individualized service plan;
• a maximum of 3.5 hours of service per person per day;
• daily life assistance (AVQ) provided by qualified health and social service auxiliaries (PAB), available on site 24/7. It includes help for: getting in and out of bed, daily hygiene, clothing, meals (warm, serve);
• aid for domestic life activities (AVD): cleaning, laundry, change of bedding, washing of dishes, storage of groceries, taking out trash.

The following services are not included:

• help with meal preparation;
  
• support for outings or appointments;
  
• organization of social activities. However, an Association de loisirs is active in the building organizing such activities for tenants.

CONVERGENCE GRIFFINTOWN PROJECT (still in discussion)

In October 2021, ÉquiToît initiated a partnership with four Montreal community organizations that have a similar mission, that of offering adult clients, with limited mobility, adapted apartments with on-site around the clock care.

The clientele targeted can manage its personal, professional, and social lives, but need 24/7 assistance to live independently at home.

Together, our five organizations offer access to 72 adapted apartments with continuous on-site home support services.

In addition, our partnership aims to:

• Facilitate the search and admission process to our organizations for clients

• Develop a representative pool of people on our waiting lists

• Make our services known and obtain recognition for our model

• Share common issues and help each other.

A common registration form serves all five organizations, and the document appearing below presents the characteristics and services offered by each of them.
