RICHMOND HILL – Work has begun on the Carefirst Campus of Care York Region, a new long-term care facility with 124 beds located in Richmond Hill.
This initiative is funded through 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 project is a not-for-profit home that will include a medical centre on the first floor and be part of a campus designed to provide easy access to health care services for residents. The facility will feature amenities such as 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. It revolves around four ‘Resident Home Areas’, each creating a more personal living space for up to 31 residents, complete with dining and activity zones, lounges, and bedrooms. Carefirst Campus of Care York Region aims to welcome its first residents by 2027.
This project forms part of the Ontario government’s ongoing effort to fulfill its promise of building 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province.
