This includes the cost of meals, which include three meals and two snacks a day, served in the bright, spacious restaurant-style dining room. Each person chooses from one of nine daily menus, which take into account each person&#8217;s dietary constraints.<\/p>\n\n<p>So you can enjoy a healthy and pleasant diet without having to spend more than your rent. Daily care, provided by highly trained and experienced teams, is also included. No need to pay extra for optimum medical safety!<\/p>\n\n<p>Also included in the rent are a range of leisure activities to keep seniors entertained and take their minds off things on a regular basis. Each month, a dynamic and experienced activity leader proposes a series of activities in which they are free to participate as they wish. Here&#8217;s a way to keep spirits high without breaking the bank!<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing a realistic residence budget<\/h2>\n\n<p>Now that you know what expenses and senior services are included in the Manoir Gouin rent, you can list the expenses that are not included but are necessary or desirable, and compare the sum to your monthly income.
