Our Foundation
Supporting the well-being of seniors and improving their quality of life
The Foyer Saint-Thomas Foundation plays a vital role in improving the well-being and comfort of residents in our nursing homes and independent living facilities. As a non-profit organization, we are committed to providing more than just accommodations: we aim to create a nurturing, warm, and dignified living environment for each resident.
Through donations and community initiatives, the foundation funds essential projects, stimulating activities, as well as the purchase of specialized equipment aimed at improving the daily lives of seniors.
Our Vision
Developing our residents' full potential to ensure their highest quality of life. We are committed to providing services that promote independence, dignity, and personal growth, while ensuring professional and caring support.

Our actions and projects
The foundation works on several fronts to ensure a better quality of life for residents:
1. Improvement of facilities and services
We invest in the purchase of adapted equipment to improve the comfort and mobility of residents. These initiatives include:
- Acquisition of wheelchairs, medical beds and other specialized equipment
- Improving common spaces to encourage interaction and leisure
- Acquisition of equipment for leisure activities
2. Organization of activities and leisure
Residents' well-being also depends on their social and cognitive stimulation. Thanks to the foundation's contributions, we organize:
- Creative and cultural workshops to encourage expression and memory
- Adapted physical activities to maintain autonomy
- Outings and special events, allowing residents to stay active and involved in the community
3. Support for families and caregivers
We know that the transition to a nursing home or senior housing can be a difficult time for families. The foundation supports caregivers by:
- Offering support and information programs
- Creating meeting spaces to encourage exchange between families and healthcare staff
- Funding initiatives to improve communication between residents and their loved ones
