RICHMOND HILL – Work has started on the Carefirst Campus of Care York Region, a new long-term care home with 124 beds in Richmond Hill.
This project is benefiting from the new Capital Funding Program (CFP).
“Our government is fixing long-term care by getting shovels in the ground and ensuring residents can get care where and when they need it,” said Dawn Gallagher Murphy, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Long-Term Care. “Today’s announcement is great news for Richmond Hill and will ensure that 124 people will get the care they need in modern, safe homes.”
The Carefirst Campus of Care York Region will be a not-for-profit home featuring a medical centre on the first floor. It will also be part of a campus of care that offers easy access to health services for residents. Amenities at this facility include a café-tuck shop, hair salon, chapel, secure outdoor garden, and walking paths.
The design focuses on larger common areas for residents and includes air conditioning throughout. There are four ‘Resident Home Areas,’ each providing a cozy space for up to 31 residents with dining and activity spaces, lounges, and bedrooms. The Carefirst Campus of Care York Region plans to welcome its first residents in 2027.
This initiative supports the Ontario government’s ongoing goal to build 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province.
