The Government of Ontario is building Chateau Park Long-Term Care Home in Amherstburg, a project that will support more than 370 good-paying jobs and deliver 160 new and upgraded long-term care beds for the community. Supported by an investment of nearly $35 million through the Building Ontario Fund (BOF), as well as the construction funding subsidy top-up, the redevelopment is part of the government’s plan to build critical infrastructure, protect Ontario workers and strengthen the health-care system.
“Our government is improving long-term care by building more homes, hiring more staff and making historic investments to support families and protect their loved ones,” said Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, Minister of Long-Term Care. “We are building for the future to create good-paying jobs and support stronger, more resilient communities. Today marks a significant milestone for Amherstburg, once construction is complete, 160 residents will have a new home where they can receive the care they need, when they need it.”
Once complete in summer 2027, the redeveloped Chateau Park Long-Term Care Home will replace an existing 59-bed long-term care home in nearby Windsor and add 101 new beds to create a larger, modern home. The project is expected to support approximately 370 jobs for the surrounding community, and more than 200 permanent long-term care positions once the home opens. This includes 130 jobs in the construction industry and 150 new long-term care positions, in addition to the 90 jobs being maintained at the existing home. Employment at the new home will involve over 120 full-time and 90 part-time staff positions in nursing, personal support work, dietary aides, program aides and administration.
The new building is designed around five “resident home areas” which create a more intimate and familiar living space for up to 32 residents with their own dining and activity areas, lounges and bedrooms. The home’s features will include therapy rooms, a beauty salon, a worship room, activity rooms with natural sunlight, and multiple courtyards.
“We’re proud to be doing our part to help expand access to modern long-term care spaces across Ontario. In the coming months, we will be opening three newly redeveloped homes and are continuing with construction on four more homes (including Erie Shores Residence in Amherstburg). Collectively, these projects will help more Ontario seniors access modern homes that deliver high-quality care, in settings where residents, families and our teams can work together to shape care journeys that reflect each person’s unique needs. We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from the Province of Ontario, Building Ontario Fund and our municipal partners, which is helping make this progress possible,”said Dan Argiros on behalf of Riverdale Living
“Financing smaller long-term care homes that we find in rural communities throughout Ontario presents unique challenges. By bundling four Arch properties together, we were able to bring institutional capital to the table to see new homes built in Prescott, Tay Valley Township, Lancaster and right here in Amherstburg. These homes will not only provide expanded, high-quality care for our seniors but also serve as significant centres of employment in their communities.”said Michael Fedchyshyn, CEO, Building Ontario Fund.
