KATASA stands for Katherine, Tanya and Samantha Chowieri!
It was in the 1980s that the Katasa Group took shape. The name of the company, chosen by its founder, Sam Chowieri, is made up of the first two letters of his daughters who, today, are Katasa Group’s managers: KAtherine, TAnya and SAmantha!
From an early age, the three sisters were actively involved in the family business, whether it was accompanying their father on his visits to the Résidence de l’Île, sharing the traditional Christmas dinner with the residents, serving at the tables, or playing the role of messengers. In the summer, they spent a lot of time at the residence: nothing better to learn the ropes of the trade!
In 2009, they joined the family business as managers, thereby strengthening Katasa’s expertise. Katherine is responsible for planning, marketing, and finance, Tanya oversees new acquisitions, new projects, and commissioning of new buildings and renovations, and Samantha manages retirement residences and all real estate properties.
“We treat our tenants, our residents, and staff like family members by creating a pleasant environment where everyone feels good. Passion helps to create a superior customer experience, to surpass oneself, to get excited about work, and to drive innovation,” explains Tanya Chowieri.

A daring bet for Sam Chowieri of the Katasa Group!
Businessman Sam Chowieri was already a seasoned professional in residential real estate development when he decided, more than 30 years ago, to venture into the construction of retirement residences under the Katasa Group.
A daring bet at the time! But he saw a need for this type of property and embarked on one of his boldest projects by purchasing a disused church in downtown Hull to convert it into a comfortable and warm retirement residence.
The Résidence de l’Île thus became the flagship of the Katasa Group. A success that has enabled the Group to experience phenomenal growth, particularly with the acquisition and development of new residences for retirees across Quebec and even Ontario.
Since 2014, Katasa focuses its business on the development and management of retirement complexes. Their mission is to develop and manage commercial and residential rental buildings focused on the needs and well-being of their tenants, as well as multi-service residences for pensioners who feel at home, skillfully combining know-how, attention to detail, comfort, and a personalized approach.
Today, Katasa includes five commercial rental buildings, two residential rental buildings, a mobile home rental park (Riviera), and seven private retirement complexes. Several expansion projects are also under consideration. A beautiful success signed by Sam Chowieri and the Katasa Group!

Deconfinement measures
Dear residents and family members,
We would like to inform you that we must wait for the written directives from the Ministry in order to proceed with the deconfinement measures that were announced during the premiere of Quebec’s press briefing. We will inform you in writing as soon as we receive them.
With Mother’s Day approaching, we wish to remind you of the guidelines regarding the delivery of goods in CHSLDs, RPAs, and RI-RTFs. Delivery services are permitted, but the goods must be delivered to the main entrance and be disinfected before being passed on to the residents. No contact with the residents is allowed. And to comply with hygiene and cleanliness guidelines, meals prepared at home are not permitted. Only meals that come from shops are allowed.
Here are some useful definitions in the current context:
Caregiver: Family member or person considered to be a family member who provides care or support to the seriously ill or injured person or the person who requires end-of-life care.
Family member: Includes the immediate family and any other family member or individual considered to be a family member, whether or not this person is related by marriage or a common-law relationship or any other legal parent-child relationship.
Care or support: Defined as the care provided to a seriously ill or injured person or a person who requires end-of-life care. Support is defined as the psychological or emotional support provided to a seriously ill or injured person or a person who requires end-of-life care.
Seriously ill or injured person: Someone whose basic health status has deteriorated significantly due to an illness or injury.
We understand your frustration, impatience, and sadness related to being away from your loved ones. Despite that, it is important to follow the safety directives from the government. We are as eager as you are to be able to slowly resume social life in the residence. We will keep you informed as soon as we receive written updates from the government regarding deconfinement.
We thank you for your patience and cooperation.
