How to Choose
your Retirement Home

A retirement home is much more than an apartment, it is a living space where a range of services facilitate your day-to-day life. A place to meet and entertain; it must also offer human-focused and evolving services, à la carte or included in packages, to meet your needs of today and tomorrow.

Amenities Included in the Lease

Living in a retirement home means having the freedom to no longer worry about day-to-day chores and several ownership costs. Ask about the amenities and services that will help you enjoy your retirement.

When you add up all the expenses associated with a house or condo, Cogir retirement residences offer excellent quality-to-price ratio.
  • Maintenance
  • Landscaping and snow removal
  • Electricity
  • Hot water
  • Cable and telephone service
  • Participation in many activities
  • Access to facilities and common areas

Take the time to compare costs based on your income and expenses.

Tax Credit

In Quebec, you may be eligible for a Quebec government tax credit for home support services for seniors aged 70 and over. To find out how much you are entitled, contact our quality-of-life consultant team and someone will help you understand what that looks like. In other provinces, please speak to one of our lifestyle consultants who would be happy to assist you. 

Moving from a Rental Property?

If you are moving from a rental property to a retirement home, you only need to give two months’ notice to your current landlord. As such, you can benefit from our range of services more quickly and safely.

Des services à la carte pour répondre aux besoins d’aujourd’hui et de demain

Une multitude de services sont disponibles à la résidence, en cas de besoin. Que ce soit pour de l’aide quotidienne ou un souci de santé, l’équipe peut vous accompagner en vous proposant des services adaptés à vos besoins.

Ask the Right Questions

The criteria for choosing a retirement home differ from person to person. To find a place that suits you, first ask yourself:

  • What services would you like to receive ?

  • What would improve your quality of life ?

  • Would you like access to swings, green or sunny areas or a pool ?

  • What amenities would make you happy: take-out, storage, parking, housekeeping, laundry, public transportation ?

  • How many rooms do you need ?

Come and meet with us so we can show you the retirement home and its many services and activities. Think about your current and future needs.
