An integral part of Montreal's rich Jewish history, Maimonides sets the standards by which other long-term care institutions are evaluated. From it's humble origins in 1910, Maimonides has evolved to become a state of the art facility whose commitment to professional, compassionate care for the elderly has earned it the reputation it so rightfully deserves. Maimonides is recognized for its innovative, ground-breaking programs that enrich the quality of life of its residents and at the same time emphasizes dignity, independence and emotional well-being.
Affiliated with McGill University, Maimonides Geriatric Centre delivers a full range of quality care to meet our clients’ needs including the Helen and Sam Steinberg Day Hospital, Respite beds, Intermediate Resources, Accredited Homes in the community, and Long-Term care. The Centre has been fully accredited by the Canadian Council of Health Services Accreditation since 1970. The accreditation process takes place every three years.
MISSION STATEMENT
The core mission of Maimonides Geriatric Centre, a McGill University affiliated long-term care facility, is to provide service to aging members of the community who are no longer able to function independently. They are entrusted to our care by their families, with whom we are allied in values and purpose. Our mandate is founded on a strong heritage of Jewish values and community support. We provide a continuum of high-quality care through our integrated network, which includes the Helen and Sam Steinberg Day Hospital, short-term respite care, community-based homes and a variety of long-term care accommodations. In line with our mission, the Centre serves as a training ground for professionals and conducts research into issues related to geriatric medicine and care of the elderly.
