When she helped her father move into this residence in September 2021, Ms. Di Fiore hoped it would be permanent. Two months later, the family was notified that two of the three towers in the building complex were to be repurposed to become rental accommodation.
Three choices were then offered to his father: to stay in his apartment but without services, to leave the Château Beaurivage or to move to the only tower which was to keep the services of RPA. He finally moved there in May 2022.
Then, on Monday, the family learned with amazement that the last tower to be used by RPA will finally close its doors in January 2024. As my father needs the services, I have to relocate him once more
explains Ms. Di Fiore, disappointed. He had meals, cleaning and medicine.
She adds :: “Do I have to move once more?” This stresses him out, he wonders where he will go.”,”text”:”My father said to me: “Do I have to move once more?” stresses him out, he wonders where he’s going to go.”}}”>My father said to me: “Do I have to move once more?” This stresses him, he wonders where he will go.
