Amélys is also recognized by the RAMQ as a entreprise d'économie sociale en aide domestique (EESSAD), enabling our customers to benefit from certain assistance programs such as the Programme d'exonération financière pour les services d'aide domestique (PEFSAD).
In 2023, Amélys celebrates its 25th anniversary. We've come a long way! The same determination as in the early days drives the company, and its commitment to providing quality homecare services to the elderly remains unwavering. Likewise, Amélys is resolutely committed to the well-being of its caring employees, without whom it would be impossible to accomplish its mission of enabling seniors to continue living at home with respect and dignity for as long as possible.
Services d'aide domestique de Saint-Hubert, a non-profit social economy organization, was founded in 1998.
Until 2006, the services offered by the NPO were essentially home help for light housekeeping and heavy seasonal work for our seniors.
Over the years, the organization would grow and expand its territory to include Longueuil, Brossard, LeMoyne, Saint-Lambert, Greenfield Park and Boucherville.
In 2007, the organization continued its expansion by adding a home care component to its service offering, this time providing a range of care services for seniors and their caregivers.
These may include assistance with personal hygiene, activities to stimulate walking or eating, help with medication or respite for caregivers.
Over the years, solid partnerships have been forged with various organizations in the healthcare sector to offer services to a greater number of clients. The addition of homecare services is a welcome addition to Amélys' range of homecare services.
In 2008, Amélys received confirmation of support from Appui national for its respite program for caregivers.
A perfect complement to our homecare services, respite for caregivers is fast becoming one of the organization's flagship services, thanks to its practicality and, above all, the concrete help it provides to the families of people losing their autonomy.
The service quickly expanded to cover a wide area, meeting customers' needs more and more effectively.
The time had come to find a name more representative of the scope of the organization's activities.
In 2012, Services d'aide domestique de Saint-Hubert was renamed Amélys. A name invented from scratch, chosen for its gentle consonance, like a feminine first name, and evocative of a human and empathetic approach.
Following a request from a Longueuil residence looking for a partner to prepare collective meals, Amélys considered the possibility of adding this service to the range of assistance programs already offered to seniors.
In the same spirit of mutual aid, the company could thus offer its customers a complementary service at lower cost. As of 2019, three residences have chosen to entrust us with the management of their food services. As needs grew, Amélys decided to add a regional manager to the existing team. While initially, food service management services only included the preparation and serving of collective meals, today it also offers a turnkey service including purchasing, hiring, management of kitchen and dining room staff, as well as all administrative aspects.
By 2023, our food service management service will be present in 8 residences on the South Shore and in Montreal, operating 9 kitchens.
True to its original mission, which is to contribute to the quality of life of its senior clientele and provide well-paid jobs for a predominantly female workforce, Amélys is constantly improving its service offering.
Amélys has grown from a small social economy enterprise with a dozen employees offering exclusively housekeeping services in Saint-Hubert, to over 200 employees providing a wide range of homecare services across much of the South Shore, as well as in residences on the island of Montreal.
Amélys has earned an enviable reputation among its peers and customers for its professionalism, the quality of its services and the values that guide its every action.
