Community life and autonomy, the choice of Pamela – Living in Montréal has many advantages, such as being close to shops and services, the dynamic cultural offer, and the diversity of the people we meet. The SHDM Autonomie + buildings, for autonomous people aged 55 and over, enable aging people to take advantage of these urban amenities while benefiting from the solidarity and complicity with neighbours who are sharing the same lifestyle. Pamela, a tenant of the SHDM, explains her housing choice and the reasons why her apartment will be her “last stop.” (video in French only)
About autonomie+ housing units – The SHDM owns 16 Autonomie+ rental complexes totalling more than 1,100 housing units for an autonomous clientele aged 55 and over. In addition to providing affordable rents below the market price, the Autonomie+ communities help to counter isolation and provide dynamic living environments for retired people.
Autonomie + buildings complement the range of choices available to aging but still physically active tenants in Montréal who are looking for an alternative to multigenerational neighbourhoods or certified seniors’ residences that offer fee-based services.
In addition to a dedicated and professional team to manage and maintain the buildings, our Autonomie+ properties have the following amenities: concrete structures, elevators, access ramps, emergency repairs service, secure access, laundry room, recreation room, garden or terrace.
