We would like to reassure our clients regarding the strike mandates in the health sector. As we are still a private establishment, our employees are not affiliated with the government’s collective agreement and therefore their union is not part of the group that will soon go on strike.

The planned actions and strikes from the government’s health care system employees will have no impact on the dispensation of services at the Château Westmount. Just so you know, our collective agreement does not expire until 2026.

So, no need to worry.

We will vaccinate our residents next week (Monday, October 23rd) for flu and COVID-19 vaccines.

If you did not have a chance to sign the consent form, you can authorize the vaccination by phone with the nurse.

You can expect our residents to be a little under the weather next Monday; don’t be alarmed.

Fever and fatigue are common side effects of both vaccines.

There is no counter indication to administrate both vaccines at the same time.

You can get more information on the government’s site

Thank you for your collaboration

Unfortunately, we must announce the return of the wearing of masks inside the C.H.S.L.D. Château Westmount.
The number of respiratory virus cases is on the rise in the metropolitan area, including COVID-19 cases, and the fact that residents have not yet received their vaccines forces us to make this decision for their protection.
We apologize for the inconvenience but are sure this measure will not drag on in time. At the same time, we recommend that visitors and caregivers receive their flu shots.
We would also like to remind you that if you have symptoms of breathing problems such as:
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Runny nose
  • Ear pain
Or, nausea or vomiting, you can not visit the center.
We ask that you abstain for a few days to protect our residents and employees.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation

Last week we held our day of thanks to our employees.

During the party, a BBQ specially prepared for them, was available in the garden.

The exceptional quality of care and services provided at Château Westmount can only be explained in one way… We are fortunate to have the best and most dedicated employees. Everyone who works here cares about the health and well-being of our residents.

“There is no limit to the recognition we can express and the thanks we can give.” – Norman Rickard

Last week, we took advantage of Employees’ Day to recognize the contribution of two very special employees. Indeed, this year we were heartbroken when Cecilia (photo) and Mary-Ann announced our retirement.

Unfortunately, Mary-Ann could not be present, but we took advantage of Cecilia’s presence to show her our affection and wish her good luck in her retirement.

Thank you both for all these beautiful years dedicated to the well-being of the residents of the Château.

From all our staff. We wish  a blessed Yom Kippur to all our Jewish resident and their family

Following the measures announced by the « Ministère de la Santé et des services sociaux », we inform you that the wearing of protective masks will no longer be mandatory.

People who have flu-like symptoms AND have tested negative for COVID-19 will, after a 5-day no-visit period (to ensure no other respiratory virus can be transmitted to our residents), will be required to wear the mask for the duration of their symptoms.

As for the lobby’s dining room, it will be possible for all to buy a meal to eat with their loved ones starting next Tuesday, April 11th. We need time to reconfigure the dining room and this cannot be conducted over the long weekend.

As of today, our staff will be happy to welcome you with their smile.

We are still in discussions with the Health and social services ministry (MSSS) to finalize the Château Westmount change of vocation.

Last week, we reached an agreement that allows the work to be classified as 2/3 complete. We are therefore in the final stretch of negotiations, and we hope to be able to reach an agreement before the summer vacation.

We will keep you informed of any developments. Thank you all for your support and patience.
