JAN FEB MAR OCT NOV DEC MAILING MONTH APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP The Construction Funding Subsidy top-up, introduced in 2022, has been critical in enabling projects like Extendicare Port Stanley. This innovative funding approach provides up to $35 per bed per day for 25 years, helping facilities overcome financial barriers, especially during times of inflation and high interest rates. Dr. Michael Guerriere, President and CEO of Extendicare, acknowledged the collaboration that made this redevelopment possible. “Our rebuild of Extendicare Port Stanley will improve the quality of life for current residents and increase access to care for seniors in the region. This new build would not be possible without the extraordinary support of the Government of Ontario and the municipality of Port Stanley.” The project has received widespread support from local leaders and community members. Central Elgin Mayor, Andrew Sloan, highlighted the importance of this development. “COVID made us realize we have new needs and challenges. Solutions like this one are vital, and I’m committed to ensuring this project moves forward in a timely manner. It’s not just a Building -- it’s an investment in our community’s future.” Karen Vecchio, MP for Elgin-London-Middlesex, reflected on the facility’s potential to support seniors who have helped build the local community. “It is wonderful to know that more seniors will be able to live with dignity in the community they helped shape,” she said. The Extendicare Port Stanley redevelopment represents more than just a new facility; it embodies hope, progress, and a commitment to improving the lives of seniors. As the first shovels break ground, the community can look forward to a brighter future for its seniors — a place where they can receive compassionate care in a modern, welcoming environment. With the anticipated opening in 2027, the facility is set to be a cornerstone of care in Port Stanley, ensuring that seniors live with dignity, comfort, and the highest quality of care. JAN FEB MAR

AD SAVE The new Extendicare facility is being de- veloped as part of Ontario’s broader strategy to address the province’s long-term care challenges. The Fixing Long-Term Care Act 2021, focuses on four key pillars: increasing staffing, enhancing quality and enforcement, building modern homes, and improving seniors’ access to services.
