\u00ab In the m\u00e9dias \u00bb<\/strong> : Les R\u00e9sidences Soleil’s interview with the magazine Boomers & Cie<\/a>

It is with great pride that we announce our presence in the special issue of Boomers & Cie magazine. Appearing in the October-November edition, this article highlights Mr. Eddy Savoie’s inspiring journey through the great family adventure that are Les R\u00e9sidences Soleil – Famille Savoie.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The creation of a brand new concept<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Les R\u00e9sidences Soleil were founded as a family business in 1988, and the family has been growing ever since.<\/em>” It was for family reasons that Eddy Savoie embarked on this great adventure of Les R\u00e9sidences Soleil<\/a>. Living at the time with his parents in the family home, he began looking for alternatives that would allow them to enjoy themselves and avoid boredom, while the whole family was at work and school, and to care for his father who was in the early stages of losing his autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But nothing like this yet existed in Quebec. There was still a lack of a combination of elements he considered indispensable: 24-hour security while preserving everyone’s freedom, delicious home-cooked meals, a wide variety of leisure activities and events, a swimming pool, a garage and communal living spaces to get together, all while remaining as accessible as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driven by this human and innovative vision, Eddy Savoie<\/a>, then a building contractor, thought that if this concept of residential living would be suitable for his own parents, it could also be appropriate for many other seniors. He promptly set about designing a residence that would meet all his exact specifications, without compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, 36 years after the birth of this innovative concept, Les R\u00e9sidences Soleil<\/a><\/strong> are undeniably a model that has inspired others and enhanced the offering in Quebec, and one of the greatest family and entrepreneurial adventures in the province!

This project would not have been possible without the unfailing support and presence of Carmelle, the woman who has been his life partner for 56 years and with whom he is still as much in love as on the first day. As proof, the couple have renewed their wedding vows three times:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eddy Savoie : visionary and humanist<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first residence marked not only a milestone in the career of this man with a heart of gold, but also the beginning of a new era in Quebec with what are known today as seniors’ residences. With his humanist and philanthropic qualities, combined with his visionary, entrepreneurial and business skills, Eddy Savoie<\/a> paves the way for a new social approach to the solitude of residential life, one that is both respectful and attentive to the real needs of seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Savoie Family<\/a> have always been guided by that family spirit, and every action is based on solid family values: commitment, loyalty, solidarity, a sense of duty, ethics and respect for others.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man who will celebrate his 81st birthday on November 13, 2024 – which coincides with World Kindness Day – rightly embodies these values, supported by his actions that are full of righteousness. Particularly through his support for countless causes:<\/p>\n\n\n
