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.
