There may be a solution on the way for those stuck on the waiting list for a Long Term Care bed in Perth County.
Perth Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece announced today that the Province has approved a plan for Kingsway Lodge in St. Marys to build a brand new facility.
It would feature 62 upgraded beds plus 66 new bed spaces for a total of 128 beds.
Minister Pettapiece says that the demand for ltc beds is high and will be even higher in the future adding that the facility will mean more beds, closer to home for those that need them.
The Kingsway Lodge facility is one of 80 new long term care projects across Ontario.
The total will see over 7500 new beds made available in addition to upgrading nearly 4200 existing spaces.
