A long-term care home is bringing 160 beds to the community in Exeter.
On Friday, members of South Huron council broke ground at the location of the future Southbridge Exeter long-term care home in Huron County.
Ontario's Minister of Long-Term Care, Natasha Kusendova-Bashta, said the facility is part of the government's initiative to fix long-term care.
'Thanks to this investment, 160 residents will have a new, safe and modern place to call home,' said Kusendova-Bashta.
By 2026, the home expects to welcome its first residents.
The care home will bring five 32-bed resident home areas with dining areas, lounges, activity rooms and outdoor amenities. It will also offer 96 private rooms and 32 basic rooms.
Ontario aims to bring 58,000 new and upgraded long-term beds across the province by 2028.
