Quebec extends trusteeship over Montreal senior residences guilty of abuse

Quebec is renewing its trusteeship over the two Floralies senior residences in Montreal’s Lachine and Lasalle areas for another three months.

The government sent Global News a release on Saturday saying it was extending its guardianship over both care homes by another 90 days after it came to an end on January 1, 2023, saying it was still not fully satisfied with the care offered at both centers.

The homes are owned by a company from France called Maisons Vivalto. A government investigation revealed violence, undertrained staff, insufficient infection control measures, dehydrated residents and more.
