Services West Nette

What Services West Nette does

Services West Nette, operating as Répit-Ressource, is a Montreal-based non-profit social economy enterprise (Entreprise d'économie sociale à domicile, or EESAD) that has delivered subsidized home help services since 1997. The organization serves seniors with declining autonomy and the family caregivers who support them, with the stated objective of enabling individuals to remain at home longer. Its service portfolio covers light housekeeping, heavy seasonal cleaning, grocery shopping assistance, home meal preparation, personal assistance (hygiene, dressing, transfers, non-prescription medication reminders, cognitive and motor stimulation), and respite care for caregivers. Two specialized sub-brands extend the offering: SAGEM, a MAPAQ-compliant on-site residential meal service eligible for PEFSAD subsidies, and GSEM, a free social-geriatrics navigation and accompaniment service for seniors in eastern Montreal.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform: service delivery is human-intensive, with trained attendants (préposés) visiting client homes directly, and intake is handled through a manual structured process that includes subsidy-application navigation via RAMQ. The pricing model is based on individual financial assessment rather than publicly disclosed rates, and revenue is generated from a mix of service fees and government subsidies (RAMQ, PEFSAD). GTM is community-led, relying on referrals from the Quebec health network (Réseau de la santé), CIUSSS regional health authorities, and word-of-mouth from satisfied clients, with supporting online service-request and job-application forms on the company website.

The business operates from two physical offices — headquarters in Hochelaga (eastern Montreal) and a second office in Pointe-Claire (western Montreal) — covering the full Montreal metropolitan area. Strategic partnerships with CIUSSS de l'Est de Montréal, CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest de l'Île-de-Montréal, Santé Québec, the Réseau des EESAD, and Caisse Desjardins Solidaire anchor the organization within Quebec's public healthcare and social-services ecosystem. No funding rounds, M&A, leadership changes, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available data.
