Foyer Richelieu Welland

What Foyer Richelieu Welland does

Foyer Richelieu Welland is a non-profit, 128-bed bilingual (French/English) long-term care facility located at 51 Promenade Richelieu in Welland, Ontario. Incorporated in 1988 as an initiative of the Club Richelieu Welland, it admitted its first resident on May 15, 1989, and serves Francophone seniors in Southern Ontario who require chronic disease management, dementia care, nursing, personal care, nutritional support, and recreational or spiritual programming. The facility holds official French-language service provider designation from the Province of Ontario (since 1996) and Catholic service provider designation from the Diocese of St. Catharines (since 2013), and is described as the only bilingual long-term care home in Southern Ontario. The 30-person staff supports 76 private and 52 basic beds, with reported 98% resident satisfaction and over 500 residents served cumulatively.

Revenue is generated primarily through government-regulated long-term care fees set by the Ontario Ministry of Health, billed monthly based on accommodation type, with any operating surplus reinvested into care quality and facility improvements. Supplementary revenue flows through the affiliated Fonds Foyer Richelieu Welland foundation (established 1997), which has raised over $4 million cumulatively via annual events such as a 15-year-running charity golf tournament, Rock-A-Thons, and brick sales. Marketing and admissions rely on community-led engagement with Francophone organizations, healthcare provider referrals, and Ministry of Health coordination rather than traditional sales channels, and resident fees are not individually negotiated.

The organization is currently executing a major expansion via the Touching Lives Campaign, targeting $5 million in fundraising to construct a new 128-bed long-term care home (nearly doubling capacity from the original 65 beds) and to convert the existing facility into Maison Richelieu, comprising 50 wellness suites for supportive senior housing. The new building is scheduled for occupancy in fall 2025. Leadership is headed by Chief Administrative Officer Sean Keays, who concurrently serves as Director of Senior Services for Niagara Region, with development and donor relations led by Daniel Keays.
