In accordance with government regulations, all requests for placement in Maimonides Geriatric Centre are processed by a centralized Admissions Committee of the Régie régionale de la santé - a committee composed of healthcare professionals.

A social worker from the community - either at a CLSC or an acute care hospital - must make the official request to the Régie who then prioritizes those on the waiting list according to the urgency of each case.

There is a room charge in all long-term care public establishments. This charge is determined by the Ministère de la main d'oeuvre et de la Sécurité du revenu, and is based on a sliding scale according to the assets of the individual.

Every attempt is made to provide the resident with the type of accommodation he/she prefers although this may not always be possible at the time of admission.

As of January 1, 2008 the following rates will apply:
$1590.90 for a private room
$1329.90 for a semi-private room
$1053.00 for Intermediate Resources

Should you require any information regarding admissions, kindly contact our Admitting Officer Shirley Merowitz at 483-2121, local 2249.
