I’m honoured to join the extended Groupe Maurice family. My grandmother was a resident at AMBIANCE for eight years. I was therefore able to live through the Groupe’s experience. The quality of the care and the community life I witnessed affected me deeply. I know the company is sincere about the values it promotes, and it really places seniors above all.
