Our accommodation centers

The Quebec Cancer Foundation offers you accommodation that is affordable, comfortable and safe near one of the large radiation oncology centers, thanks in part to a financial contribution from the Minister for Health and Social Services.

 

“At first, most of my patients are anxious about staying in another city. But as time goes by, they are so happy about staying at the Foundation. They are treated so well that they feel right at home. Having someone to talk to really helps people cope. And, more than anything, they are relieved and grateful to have a place to stay right next door to the hospital.”

A warm and welcoming living environment

Whether it is for one night, a few days or several weeks, we are here for you! Our Lodges will welcome you along with a companion for the entire duration of your treatments. If you are between the ages of 15 and 39, the Chambres à Felix – one per Lodge – are specially designed to meet your needs.

Cancer treatment can involve frequent trips to a hospital, a very demanding schedule that can prove too taxing when it adds to the burden of the side effects which cancer is already imposing.

That is why our goal is to provide you with all the conveniences you need along with the warmth and friendliness of a home environment. Our lodge network comprises 130 rooms with single or double occupancy, and all come equipped with a private bathroom.

A meal allowance is included for your stay at the Foundation, but our Lodges have well equipped kitchens if you decide to prepare your own special meals. You will find yourself well looked after by our staff, both employees and volunteers, who are considerate and compassionate.

Living in one of the Foundation Lodges is one way you can simplify life and allow yourself to concentrate on getting well and not on the logistics of getting treatment for your disease.

Services and activities for all

At the lodge, you will find many social activities, community events and recreational pursuits which are organized every day. You’ll be able to take advantage of services, such as massage therapy, art-therapy and kinesiology.

It is our belief that, over and above a cancer diagnosis, life must go on and be as tranquil as possible. That is what we try to offer you !
