No.
Residents who live at Château Westmount will stay. However, contracts governing accommodation costs for private customers will expire on March 31, 2023. As of April 1, 2023, these residents will be considered as long-term care residents by the Ministère de la Santé et des services sociaux du Québec (MSSS).
This means that the monthly cost will be reduced and will be established according to the standards of the MSSS. In addition, some services currently paid for by residents will become covered by the government.
For residents currently in transitional beds, they will be able to request to modify the permanent destination centre for Château Westmount if they wish to stay. Otherwise, they will be transferred to their permanent center as soon as a bed becomes available.
The goal is not to change residents of place, unless a person requests it.
