A presence that feels like you
At Trois Pierre, companion care is a matter of heart as much as skill. The person assigned to your care is chosen for their attentiveness, gentleness and consistency, offering a reassuring presence throughout daily life. This service, distinct from nursing care, complements our offering harmoniously: for any medical assessment, emergency or continuous monitoring, Trois Pierre's nursing services or the appropriate resources (CLSC, emergency services) remain the right places to turn.
