The Government of Ontario announced that construction is underway to build a new 160-bed long-term care home in Prince Edward County, as part of the province’s Construction Funding Subsidy top-up.
“Our government is working to protect Ontario by investing in projects like this new long-term-care home in Prince Edward County to ensure seniors get the right care in the right place,” said John Jordan, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Long-Term Care. “Today marks a significant milestone for the County as when construction is complete, 160 residents will have a new modern, comfortable place to call home.”
The new home will be designed to create a more intimate and familiar living space for residents through the use of private spaces, vibrant resident home areas and communal activities. This new home will feature special services for nursing and personal care, food and diet, recreation, therapeutic and spiritual care.
The home’s amenities are designed to enhance resident engagement and overall quality of life. Offerings include a hair salon, lounge, gallery, outdoor gardens and an exterior walking path complete with sitting areas. The home is expected to welcome its first residents in 2027.
“Today is truly an exciting milestone for the future of long-term care here in Prince Edward County. Featuring more private rooms and modern facilities, the municipality’s new long-term care home will significantly enhance the experience for our residents. This thoughtful design helps create a comfortable, inviting environment where everyone feels truly at home.” said Steve Ferguson, Mayor, Prince Edward County.
