EMPLOYEE PROFILE
LUCE BESSETTE,
LIFESTYLE AND PROGRAM MANAGER
CHARTWELL SEIGNEURIES DU CARREFOUR,
SHERBROOKE, QC
Luce recently received a 2018
RQRA Ambassadors Award in
the Outstanding Commitment
category for all of her accom-
plishments with Chartwell.
Congratulations Luce for this
well-deserved honour!
As Lifestyle and Program Manager at Chartwell Seigneuries
du Carrefour, Luce is well-loved by her residents and
fellow colleagues. However, prior to joining Chartwell, she
worked in a variety of different industries, including a
twenty-year career as an RCMP officer, a house painter,
a travel agent, a hotel receptionist and a tourism manager.
Her clear passion for people eventually led her to study
gerontology before joining the Chartwell team.
Since she began in her current role, she has developed
and executed many meaningful projects, including a sign
language course for a hearing impaired resident, partic-
ipated in the Sherbrooke Grande March, as well as
supporting
a
recent project with Villa
Marie-Claire,
which provides services and
accommodation
for young women during
their pregnancy.
Luce knows how to
turn a simple
activity into an extraordinary adventure and she strives
to create experiences for residents that stimulate the
mind and senses through outstanding initiatives, making
sure that they are proud of their contributions.
Luce always spreads positivity around the home, building
a strong sense of community and belonging while
encouraging participation in the activities that the resi-
dence has to offer. She helps residents discover their
potential and shows them that they can have fun along
the way. She is a force of positive energy whose smile,
spontaneity and enthusiasm are truly contagious. Luce
constantly listens to residents and helps them discover
new activities that meet their specific needs. For her,
anything is possible if you set your mind to it!
Luce remains on the lookout for new projects or
activities and often encourages residents to step
outside of their comfort zone. Her greatest reward is
to see the light in a residents’ eye and to
hear them talk about their personal
accomplishments. Thanks to her
efforts, Chartwell Seigneuries
du Carrefour feels more alive
than ever, something even fami-
lies and visitors have noticed
when they walk through the
doors.
