La Maison Clémentine is an organization established in April 1997 thanks to the initiative of l'Association de parents d'enfant trisomique de Lanaudière (APETL). By means of a donation from the Club Richelieu de Joliette, the house was purchased and arranged with pride.

Our goal is to offer a chance to the individual dealing with an intellectual disability and/or physical deficiency of experiencing community life and letting their family enjoy significant periods of rest. Those respites allow reassurance and spare the families physical and emotional exhaustion. It also gives the handicapped person the opportunity of staying in his natural living environment as long as possible.

The resource welcomes people with light to heavy restrictions in a homelike, energetic, adapted and safe atmosphere.

The basic care is the administration of medication and complete hygiene care. When someone requires specific care such as feeding tubes, a follow-up on severe epilepsy, insulin injection with an insulin pen, severe allergy procedure, etc., those needs must be evaluated and approved by the executive board. The treatments are provided by our caregiving staff in accordance with the norms stipulated by Law 90.

There are 4 types of categories for the type of care to consider:

• "A" indicates that the care provided to the service user is partial
• "B" indicates that the care provided to the service user is continuous.
• 1x1 indicates that the care provided to the service user is continuously assured by a caregiver.

The regular caregiving ratio is one caregiver for 3 or 4 users belonging to categories A, B. 

The caregiving ratio for the category 1x1 is one caregiver that continuously looks after the user during his stay, except during nighttime.

A sensorial room is available to our staff so as to offer proximity care to the user. This care aims to provide well-being, enjoyment and fulfilment; it must not be used for therapeutic purposes.

The room contains a ball pool, a water wall, ambient lights, an adapted swing, devices for musical awakening and various tools for stimulation.

A section may be reserved to our users living with traumatic brain injury or light physical limitations; the person must also be considerably autonomous.

Even though the person may be autonomous to a certain extent, the staff is in charge of managing and handing out meals and medication.

The locations are completely adapted and safe. The rooms are furnished with hospital-type adapted beds, movable patient lifts (2), a bathroom equipped with a patient lift on rails connected to the ceiling and an elevator to access the upper floor.
