New home will provide 160 modern long-term care beds in the community
Construction is underway to build a new 160-bed long-term care home in Prince Edward County. This project is a recipient of the Construction Funding Subsidy top-up and is part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario by creating good jobs and building for the future, while ensuring long-term care residents get the quality of care and quality of life they need and deserve.
“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.
This project is part of the Ontario government’s continued progress toward its commitment to build 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province, as outlined in the 2025 Ontario Budget: A Plan to Protect Ontario. The government is fixing long-term care to ensure Ontarians get the quality of care and quality of life they need and deserve. The plan to improve care for long-term care residents is built on four pillars: staffing and care; quality and enforcement; building modern, safe and comfortable homes; and connecting seniors with faster, more convenient access to the services they need.
Quick Facts
