Senior Homes in Dieppe, NB

Senior homes in Dieppe: a local guide

Dieppe has 18 senior homes and retirement homes listed on SeniorHome.ca, from small special care homes on residential streets to larger francophone residences and licensed nursing homes. Only one community in the city currently publishes a starting rate: $1,687 per month, at an assisted living and independent living residence. Dieppe is a majority-French city next to Moncton, so most residences operate primarily in French, with bilingual staff common.

Where senior homes are in Dieppe

Of the 18 listings, 13 have a confirmed street address in Dieppe, and they are concentrated in the older, walkable part of the city rather than the newer subdivisions:

• Amirault Street corridor — the densest cluster, including Residence De L'Aboiteau (2100 Amirault St), Residence Du Marais (371 Amirault St) and Résidence Beaux Souvenirs (393 Amirault St). This runs through the Chartersville side of the city.
• Acadie Avenue — the civic heart of Dieppe, home to Résidence Sainte-Therese (450 Acadie Ave) and Foyer Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur (514 Acadie Ave), close to the Centre-ville, church, pharmacy and arena.
• North and east Dieppe — Gauvin Road, Aucoin Street and Virginia Avenue addresses sit closer to the Fox Creek and Dover areas, where housing is newer and quieter but you are more dependent on a car.

Because Dieppe is compact, a family living anywhere in greater Moncton can reach almost every residence on this list in under 20 minutes — worth remembering when you compare a Dieppe home with options across the Petitcodiac in Moncton or Riverview.

What senior homes cost in Dieppe

Pricing transparency is limited here, so treat published numbers as a starting point and confirm by phone:

• Assisted living (2 communities) and independent living (1 community): starting rates from $1,687 per month, at Auberge du Soleil on Aucoin Street, which offers both.
• Retirement residences (5 communities): none publish a starting rate. In New Brunswick these are usually licensed special care homes, billed as a monthly all-inclusive rate for room, meals and personal care.
• Nursing homes (3 communities): no published private rates, because resident contributions are set through a provincial financial assessment, not by the home.

Public long-term care and home care in Dieppe

In New Brunswick, nursing home placement and long-term care assessments are arranged through the Department of Social Development, not through the hospital or the home itself. Special care homes are licensed by the province, and subsidies are income-tested. The province's long-term care program is for residents 65 and over who consent to a functional assessment of their personal care and social needs and are medically stable; Social Development can be reached at 1-833-733-7835. Home support services are intended to help people stay in their own home as long as possible, and a social worker will help you choose which homes to put on your list.

Clinical care in Dieppe is delivered by Vitalité Health Network, the regional health authority covering northern and southeastern New Brunswick and the only francophone-managed health network of its kind in Canada — relevant if your parent is more comfortable receiving care in French.

Hospitals and getting around

• Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre, 330 Université Avenue in Moncton, is Vitalité's flagship hospital, with 302 beds and primary, specialized and tertiary care. It is a short drive from most Dieppe residences.
• Codiac Transpo serves Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview. Seniors 65 and over qualify for a discounted 30-day pass ($58 versus $73 for adults), with proof of age required. Check the actual route and stop distance from any residence you tour — service is thinner in the newer subdivisions.

How to choose a senior home in Dieppe

• Match the licence to the need. A special care home or retirement residence cannot provide nursing-home-level care; ask what would trigger a move.
• Confirm the language of daily care — not just the brochure, but the night shift.
• Start the Social Development assessment early if a nursing home is likely, even while touring private residences.
• Ask what the monthly rate excludes: medication administration, incontinence supplies, laundry, hairdressing, escorts to appointments.
• Read reviews carefully. Google ratings in Dieppe range from 3.0 to 5.0, but most homes have fewer than 15 reviews, so visit in person — ideally at mealtime.
• Check the drive from your own home and from the Dumont hospital, since family visits are the single best predictor of a good placement.

Not sure which level of care fits? Start with a free care assessment, then book two or three tours in one afternoon.
