CHSLD Villa Belle Rive is a long-term care centre on Boulevard Gouin in Montréal, beside the Rivière des Prairies, caring for older adults with declining independence since 1981.
It was accredited by Accreditation Canada in 2024 and became a government-contracted private CHSLD in 2025, so monthly fees follow the provincial rate grid and include meals, care and medication.
An on-site team provides round-the-clock nursing, medication administration, help with hygiene, eating and mobility, plus medical and pharmacy services, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, clinical nutrition, social work and recreation.
Its Google rating is below 3, and reviewers often mention older rooms and concerns about meals and atmosphere.

How placement works
Applying for long-term care
This is a long-term care home, so you can't book a room directly. Placement is arranged through your local CLSC (through the CISSS or CIUSSS), which confirms eligibility and manages the waiting list for the homes you choose.
- 1A care coordinator confirms that long-term care is the right level of care and that you're eligible.
- 2You pick the homes you'd like, and your name is added to each home's waiting list.
- 3When a bed opens and you're next in line, the home offers it to you.

I agree with all the negative reviews, DO NOT allow your parents to stay there!! This place should have been closed a long time ago. Where are our leaders? They would never send their own parents to this place!!

Wow, my mother was there for six months waiting for her spot, and wow, what a nightmare it was for Elke and the family. Very old, tiny room. Shared bathroom in the hallway. Very old furniture. For dinner, a quarter of a sandwich with a small salad and a small bowl of soup. It traumatized me, especially considering I was paying $1700 a month. To mask the bad smell, there were air fresheners everywhere, even in the linen closet. This place should be shut down.

Worst experience ever! If you love your elders, don't bring them here. My heart aches for all those trapped in this unsafe and lifeless environment. Don't leave your elders here. Everyone (employees and residents) seems lifeless… their spirits completely destroyed. 😞
