FONDATION DES PETITS FRÈRES

Since 1962 in Quebec, Little Brothers has been offering free, caring support to people aged 75 and over, breaking isolation, restoring joie de vivre and promoting active aging. Over the years, Les Petits Frères has grown to be an ever-growing presence for seniors in 12 administrative regions of the province.

The support we offer is always tailored to the wishes and abilities of the people we care for. Led by its regional teams across Quebec, the organization offers a variety of approaches to breaking isolation while responding to the different needs seniors may have throughout their lives. Petits Frères makes sure they’re there when it counts, helping them maintain their dignity and well-being, and accompanying them to the end of their lives.

While isolation can create distress and lead to a deterioration in quality of life, accompaniment is the source of many virtues for their physical and psychological health. Among other things, it enables seniors to :

– Know that they exist for someone.
– Feel affection, moral support and comfort.
– Feel a sense of dignity and well-being.
– Regain the right to dream and achieve.
– Gain the certainty of no longer living in solitude.
– Enjoy lasting human relationships at an age when bereavement is common.
