A house full of love
Headed by Sercan Foundation, the palliative care home’s mission is to welcome people at the end of their life. Located in Saint-Eustache, Maison Sercan has been offering free palliative care since 2005. Patients are in a calm and warm environment. Our qualified staff ensure the relief of symptoms and discomfort to allow them to live their last moments in dignity.
The house is a non-profit community organization with seven private rooms for people in our region with a prognosis of end of life. Nursing and medical care are offered 24 hours a day with respect of each person.
Testimony
“Thanks to Maison Sercan, I was able to accompany my husband until his last breath. The nursing team provided all the necessary care so I was able to be his wife again and be there for him and my family. I could focus on the essentials and make him feel that I was always at his side.” – Miss Brunet who had access to our services for her husband in 2018.

Some significant moments of our history
A social work student and a few volunteers set up Sercan, which offers exchange and mutual aid services dedicated to people with cancer and their families.
Because death is also a part of illness … The structure is adapting to set up the Palliative Care Home in Saint-Eustache.
A major fundraising campaign, chaired by Mr. Fernand Biard, mobilizes the people of the region in order to finance the construction of this house. The Maison receives its first patient in autumn 2005.
A beautiful expansion project is born. The Kilimandjaro challenge enable the House to increase its number of beds from 4 to 7 in in january 2012. It has, since, been an invaluable service for the people of our community in end-of-life support.
