The Centre d'assistance et d'accompagnement aux plaintes de l'Île de Montréal (CAAP) is an organization mandated by the Health and Social Services Minister to assist and support users not satisfied of the services provided by the Health and Social Services network institutions located on the Island of Montreal.
In case of complaints about the quality of services, the Centre d’assistance et d’accompagnement aux plaintes (CAAP) in your region is mandated by the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux to support you in your approaches to the Service Quality and Complaints Commissioner. An advisor may listen to you concerning the situation you experienced, inform you and help you draft your complaint. This advisor will support you at each step of your approach, while respecting your choices.
Since April 1, 2019, the CAAPs have expanded their service offering, at the request of the Gouvernement du Québec, to include information, assistance and support for lessees of private seniors’ residences on questions relating to the lease. They offer them the desired support for preparing their case and accompaniment to a conciliation meeting with a representative of the residence to facilitate an agreement. Their services also include assistance and accompaniment to a conciliation session or a hearing of the Tribunal administratif du logement.
All CAAP services are free, confidential and offered throughout Québec.
