Agence Mieux-Vivre

What Agence Mieux-Vivre does

Agence Mieux-Vivre is a privately held Quebec City–based placement agency founded in 2012 that helps families in the Greater Quebec City region (Quebec, Lévis, Sainte-Foy, Charlesbourg, Beauport, Sillery, Cap-Rouge, Lebourgneuf) find appropriate senior residences. The service is delivered by a four-person team of certified housing advisors with clinical backgrounds in nursing, therapy, and social work, led by founder Alexandra Corriveau. The firm has accompanied over 1,100 families since inception and reports a 99.8% customer satisfaction rate.

The service offering centers on a five-step process: personalized in-home needs assessment, residence selection, accompanied visits, lease signing support, and post-installation follow-up. Specialized add-on modules cover Alzheimer's and cognitive decline placement, short-term convalescence placements, family mediation, and referrals to complementary professionals (notaries, movers, tax specialists). An educational blog with 30+ articles on housing costs (including 2026 projections), neighborhood guides, and Alzheimer care supports top-of-funnel demand generation. The company has no proprietary technology platform and no disclosed AI components.

The business model is a commission-based placement service: families receive the service at no cost, and the agency is compensated by partner residences at approximately one month's rent per completed placement. The agency has formalized referral relationships with community organizations including the Regroupement québécois des résidences pour aînés (RQRA), FADOQ, AQDR, and the Alzheimer Society. The firm is privately held with no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding events.

Core offering

Agence Mieux-Vivre provides a free, personalized accompaniment service for families in the Greater Quebec City area seeking a senior residence for an elderly relative. The service covers the entire journey: a personalized home meeting to assess needs, budget and preferences, selection of certified partner residences, accompanied on-site visits, lease-signing support, and post-installation follow-up. The company is remunerated directly by the partner residences through a commission upon each successful placement, which allows the service to remain free of charge for families.

Product overview

Agence Mieux-Vivre operates as a single unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core product is a free personalized accompaniment service that guides families through the entire process of finding the ideal senior residence in the Quebec region. This core service includes a 5-step process: personalized meeting, residence selection, accompanied visits, lease signing support, and post-installation follow-up. The company also offers specialized modules including a dedicated Alzheimer's and cognitive decline service, temporary placement services, family mediation, and professional referral services. An educational blog with expert advice complements the service offering.
