AN ADAPTED LIVING ENVIRONMENT
The cottage model
At the residence, each floor is designed as a cottage-style living space, based on a model widely recognized in senior care. This concept aims to recreate a true home environment on a human scale, where residents share daily life in a warm, familiar, and reassuring setting.
This approach encourages personalized care, respect for each individual’s pace, a family-like atmosphere, and meaningful human connections. People living with cognitive challenges benefit from clearer landmarks, helping them better navigate their surroundings and feel more at ease. Residents live in an intimate environment, supported by a caring team, where their well-being, autonomy, and dignity remain central priorities.
Stimulating common areas
Selena Residence’s formula stands out thanks to its common areas which are focused on enhancing the well-being of the residents. They are designed to maintain their autonomy and social interaction.
Our hope is that each person experiences a feeling of peace and enjoyment in the residence’s spaces. Like in a family setting, they are invited to discuss, exchange, and share as they choose.
Residents can also enjoy the outdoor terrace with swings and an indoor fireplace area. We have created a comfortable, home-like living environment, and all the floors are appointed with:
- Living Room
- Themed Rooms
- Dining Room
- Outdoor Patio
- Common Lounge with Fireplace
- Therapeutic Spa
Themed rooms
Every resident is part of the Selena family. We have specially adapted various thematic rooms to help revive memories of residents with memory difficulties through a variety of activities, according to their tastes and passions:
- Sunroom
- Nursery
- Arts and Crafts Workshop

- Green Space
Day-to-day activities are maintained in an environment that is adaptable to the residents’ needs. The team encourages them to continue to live their lives and enjoy their hobbies, thereby maintaining their dignity.
