What is the CAAP?
The Centre d’assistance et d’accompagnement aux plaintes – Laval is a community organization where you can obtain all the assistance and support needed to submit your complaint. We are independent from the Health and Social Services and totally unprejudiced towards users. Our services are free and confidential.
Our role is not to process complaints, but rather to assist the residents of Laval or any other person dissatisfied with the care received in a Laval institution. Contact us to obtain the help and support necessary while undertaking your process.
With you, all the way through!
