Construction underway to move long-term care beds from Windsor to Amherstburg

Construction has begun to move long-term care (LTC) beds from Windsor to Amherstburg.
Work to redevelop Chateau Park Long Term Care home started in March, after being initially announced in 2022.
When completed – expected in late 2027 – it will offer 160 LTC beds in town.
'It's one of those 'cradle to grave' ideas that you can spend your whole life in a small town, which is, I think, unique to Canada,' Deputy Mayor Chris Gibb told CTV News Monday.
'It's very much needed because our current long term care home, Richmond Terrace, is full.'
Gibb said the project has been stalled since 2019 because of costs, financing, and changes to the layout.
'With the changes in construction costs they (Arch Corporation and Ontario) had to come up with a new agreement,' Gibb said.
Arch purchased the site at Fryer and Richmond Streets in 2019 from the municipality.
Amherstburg had just bought the land the year before from the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board after St. Bernard School was closed.
'We (Amherstburg council) did have to make a few adjustments because they (Arch) needed to purchase some more town land for their stormwater management plan,' Gibb said.
The Building Ontario Fund (BOF) announced in January, Arch had secured the financing they needed by 'bundling' four projects together.
LTC projects are also underway in Lancaster, Prescott, and Tay Valley, according to a news release.
'Securing financing for projects in rural communities presents unique challenges, often due to their smaller scale,' said Michael Fedchyshyn, CEO of BOF in the release.
'Taking an innovative approach, as we have done by bundling four Arch properties together, we can bring institutional capital to the table and help advance vital infrastructure projects,' Fedchyshyn is quoted.
The project will create 101 new beds in Amherstburg and the 59 beds in Windsor will move to the new location.
Future of Windsor site?
It's not immediately clear what will happen with Chateau Park's location in Windsor, on Riverside Drive, just west of the Ambassador Bridge.

CTV News has reached out to the BOF, the Ministry of Long-Term Care, and Chateau Park for more details.

Top public servants unanimously opposed ‘big bang' pay switchover for public service
Alex Benay, Associate Deputy Minister at Public Services and Procurement Canada, speaks during a news conference at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa, on Tuesday, July 9, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang OTTAWA — A top federal official says fixing the payroll problems caused by Phoenix cost taxpayers more than $5 billion — and they'll keep paying extra to run two public service payroll platforms at once as Ottawa weans itself off the problem-plagued system. Alex Benay, associate deputy minister at Public Services and Procurement Canada, says the alternative to running the Phoenix system in tandem with its replacement, Dayforce, would have been worse. The other option, he says, was a 'big bang' deployment that would have switched roughly 350,000 public servants from the old system to the new Dayforce system all at once. That's what happened when the federal government introduced Phoenix, which led to nearly a decade of mispayments for public servants and major lawsuits. Benay says taxpayers likely spent about $5.1 billion to process a backlog of Phoenix errors that caused some public servants to be mispaid — or sometimes not paid at all. While he doesn't have a cost estimate for the switch to Dayforce, Benay adds senior government officials agreed not to repeat the mistakes of nine years ago when Phoenix was brought online. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 23, 2025. Kyle Duggan, The Canadian Press
