Aide Chez Soi Rive-Sud

What Aide Chez Soi Rive-Sud does

Aide Chez Soi Rive-Sud, legally Coop Aide Rive-Sud, is a Quebec social-economy cooperative founded around 2000 and headquartered at 79 Rue Leblanc Ouest, Longueuil, with a secondary point of service in Varennes. It operates as a recognized Entreprise d'Économie Sociale en Aide à Domicile (ÉSAD), delivering in-home support services to seniors and individuals with health conditions across the Rive-Sud de Montréal territory. The service portfolio spans light, heavy, and extra-heavy housekeeping, seasonal maintenance, meal preparation, grocery shopping and errands, personal assistance, caregiver respite, laundry and ironing, and at-home hairdressing, supplemented by food services delivered in senior residences through a partnership with SAGEM. All services are performed by trained and vetted home aides under team-leader supervision, with quality-assurance follow-ups.

The business model is fee-for-service revenue from individual members, materially subsidized by the PEFSAD program administered by RAMQ and the Quebec home maintenance tax credit via Revenu Québec, which reduces the effective cost to eligible clients aged 65+ or those under 65 with a health network referral. Distribution is direct: phone or online self-serve request, a 3-business-day intake callback, assignment of a home aide, and ongoing quality monitoring. The cooperative is member-governed with three membership categories (supporting, user, worker) and a nine-person board of directors; general management is led by Directrice générale Ihsane El Bakkal. Headcount stands at 17 employees, and no technology platform, app, or AI capability is disclosed.

Comparable target population and service lines but at significantly greater scale and broader geographic reach than Aide Chez Soi Rive-Sud.
