Testimonials from Our Employees
“It was during my studies that I discovered palliative care. That is when I realized that it is possible to die differently: away from the constant beeping of machines, in a peaceful environment filled with beauty and serenity, surrounded by caregivers who are available, compassionate, and deeply attentive. Having accompanied a loved one through the end of life myself, I wished they could have spent their final days in a place like La Maison de la Sérénité. That experience became a turning point in my journey. It shaped my vision of care and confirmed my desire to practice in an environment where people come first, where every gesture, every word, and every presence have meaning. I later worked in hematology-oncology at CHUM, a demanding environment where delivering difficult news was, unfortunately, part of everyday life. Despite the rigour and invaluable experience I gained there, I felt the need to reconnect with the very essence of caregiving: to accompany, to comfort, and to be fully present. That is also what led me to choose night shifts. The calm that settles in after nightfall creates space for different kinds of conversations, often more genuine and heartfelt. At night, masks come off, worries resurface, and people find the courage to confide. Patients, as well as their loved ones, share their fears, their memories, and their hopes. In these suspended moments, we become reassuring presences, attentive listeners for those whom insomnia keeps awake. Today, working at La Maison de la Sérénité allows me to practice my profession in a way that is fully aligned with my values. Here, every person is welcomed with dignity, respect, and kindness. We have the privilege of accompanying not only the end of life, but also moments of profound humanity, where love, gratitude, and peace find their rightful place. Witnessing these moments is an immense privilege. Every day, they remind me why I chose—and continue to choose—this profession.” – Mrs. Isabelle Talbot, Night Nurse at La Maison de la Sérénité for the past seven years

Twelve years of loyalty to this remarkable home have helped me grow as a person and nursing assistant and have quickly adopted and integrated me. Thanks to the welcome of the different teams I’ve worked with. The team’s dedication, empathy, and availability inspire and encourage me to give my 100% daily.
Our patients and their families are the raison d’être of our mission: to make them feel comfortable despite the difficult times they must endure and feel like members of our big family. If we can make our patients laugh with our jokes, make them dance in the corridor and stop time for a few minutes, listen to them tell us about memorable moments with their loved ones, provide them with moments of pleasure with our famous well-decorated ice creams or with attractive plates lovingly prepared by our cooks, accompany them on their health stroll, or to go out on our two well-appointed terraces to relax while watching the river or listening to the birdsong with our volunteers, to help them attend and applaud the shows organized by La Maison, to give them a moment of joy every Friday with a bouquet prepared by our volunteers, then, mission accomplished!
La Maison de la Sérénité makes a difference through its humanism, professionalism, love, and warmth, creating the feeling of being at Home. Once integrated into our team, every member feels involved in La Maison’s running, improving our processes and care; every idea is listened to and appreciated. Sometimes, we forget we’re at work because this place is like a second home to us. We spend more time with our colleagues than our families, supporting and encouraging each other. We’re there for each other. Thank you all for this fantastic working environment, and long live this unique Maison!
