Becoming a Resident

The Montreal Chinese Hospital Foundation supports the Hospital through fundraising and community initiatives. Resident admissions are coordinated through Quebec’s public health and social-services system.

   Contact your CLSC

   A health or social-services professional can assess the senior’s needs and determine whether long-term care may be appropriate.

   Step 2

   Assessment and referral

   If long-term care is recommended, the placement request is handled through the appropriate public healthcare process. If the person is already hospitalized, the hospital care team may also start the referral.

   Step 3

   Placement review

   The Montreal Chinese Hospital may be considered as a placement option, depending on the person’s care needs, eligibility, availability and the public placement process.

   Step 4

   Hospital follow-up

   For questions specifically about long-term care at the Montreal Chinese Hospital, contact the Hospital’s care team directly, not the Foundation.

Wait times and places on the waiting list cannot be predicted; questions about a request in progress go to your social worker.
