Southbridge Cornwall brings 160 much-needed beds to the province

Cornwall, Ontario — The construction of a new long-term care home in Cornwall is completed and the home is now welcoming residents. This is part of the Ontario government’s $6.4 billion commitment to build more than 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province by 2028.

Construction of Southbridge Cornwall began in December 2020 and its first residents are being welcomed today. The new home provides 160 safe, modern, long-term care beds in Cornwall. The home is licensed to Southbridge Care Homes and is operated by Southbridge Health Care.

“Congratulations to Southbridge Cornwall on the opening of their brand new home. Our government is fixing long-term care and a key part of that plan is building modern, safe, and comfortable homes for our seniors,” said Paul Calandra, Minister of Long-Term Care. “This new home is a significant milestone for the City of Cornwall and the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry – and means that 160 residents will have a new place to call home, near their family and friends.”

Southbridge Cornwall features design improvements for residents, including larger resident common areas and air conditioning throughout the home. The design is centred around ‘resident home areas’ that create a communal environment for up to 32 residents with dining and activity areas, lounges and bedrooms.

In addition to projects like Southbridge Cornwall, Ontario is supporting another seven projects in the City of Cornwall and the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, including the development of long-term care homes in Long Sault, Maxville, Winchester, Alexandria and Lancaster. Across the region, these eight projects will provide 359 new and 697 upgraded long-term care beds, for a total of 1,056 beds built to modern design standards.

The government is fixing long-term care to ensure Ontario’s seniors get the quality of care and quality of life they need and deserve both now and in the future. The plan is built on four pillars: staffing and care; quality and enforcement; building modern, safe and comfortable homes; and connecting seniors with faster, more convenient access to the services they need.
