What Résidences Soleil does

Résidences Soleil (legal name Les Résidences Soleil Famille Savoie) is the largest family-owned senior living business in Canada, operating 15 private seniors' residences (Résidences Privées pour Aînés, "Manoirs") across Quebec since 1988. The portfolio includes urban locations such as Manoir Plaza (downtown Montreal) and Manoir Laval, regional sites in Montérégie (Boucherville, Brossard, Sainte-Julie, Mont-Saint-Hilaire), Lanaudière (Repentigny), and the Eastern Townships (Granby, Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke-du-Musée), plus Pointe-aux-Trembles and St-Léonard on the island of Montreal. The company serves approximately 7,000 autonomous and semi-autonomous residents aged 65 and over with 2,000+ employees, including a notable new site (Manoir Repentigny) launched in 2026.

The core product is rental of 1½ to 5½-unit apartments on monthly subscriptions with all-inclusive amenities (utilities, HD TV, bi-weekly housekeeping, weekly linens, 24/7 security, leisure facilities, emergency pull cords, intercom, morning presence checks); residents add care services, meals, medication management, laundry, and outings à la carte. A short-stay product is sold at $75 per day per person for 2-30 day trial or respite stays. Distinctive financial programs form the customer-acquisition and retention engine: the 1% Commitment (1% annual rent cap, 2022-2026), the Guaranteed Rent Commitment (2.25% cap through 2030), the Satisfaction Soleil's Guarantee (30-day risk-free trial), Benefice Soleil (rent freeze at age 90 after 10 years), Privilege Soleil (free rent at age 100 after 10 years), the Accommodation Soleil exit-fee reduction, and the Select Club recognition program. Housing advisors provide free assistance navigating Quebec and Canadian government subsidies (OAS, GIS, housing allowance, tax credits).

The business is fully and exclusively owned by the Savoie family, with Eddy Savoie as founder, Carmelle Savoie as Vice President, and Nadine-Coïne Savoie as Director of Groupe Savoie. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across physical sites, a comprehensive French/English website, toll-free phone sales (1-800-363-0663), Google/Facebook paid acquisition, weekly email newsletters, Open House events with promotional contests, healthcare professional referrals (CLSCs, hospitals, social workers), and community PR (e.g., a $65,000 charitable partnership with Club Optimiste de Beloeil). The company has been recognized 23 consecutive years on Deloitte Canada's Best Managed Companies list and operates with no disclosed external investors, parent, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or non-Quebec expansion.
