ST. CATHARINES, ONT. — Construction is underway on the redevelopment of Extendicare St. Catharines’ new 256 bed long-term care home.
The new facility will consist of 104 new and 152 redeveloped beds across four floors, with two Resident Home Areas (RHAs) on each floor.
RHAs are designed to create a more intimate and familiar living space for up to 32 residents each, with dining and activity areas, lounges and bedrooms, explains a release. Specific RHAs will offer specialized supports, including dementia care and care for individuals with unique medical needs that don’t require inpatient hospital services.
The project was a recipient of the Construction Funding Subsidy top-up, part of the Ontario government’s plan to build 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province.
The new home will also offer restorative and palliative care, along with private spaces for families supporting residents through end-of-life care. Additional amenities include a café for residents and families, dedicated family dining areas, a chapel and a beauty salon/barber shop.
Extendicare St. Catharines is expected to welcome residents in early 2027.
