Work to start on preparing new Uxbridge 192-bed LTC site

The Township of Uxbridge has announced that the early works for the Uxbridge Hospital redevelopment site have been approved to begin work on laying the groundwork for future construction.

Site work is set to begin once the construction contract is awarded and is scheduled to be completed prior to the main project commencing construction.

The long-term care home, which will be run by UniversalCare Canada, will have 192 long-term care beds. Long-term care home projects have been fast-tracked with support from the Ontario government’s increased construction funding subsidy, the statement read.

Peter Bethlenfalvy, MPP for Pickering-Uxbridge, said the early works announced on January 24, will allow for the start of construction on the campus of care here in Uxbridge which will provide a seamless integrated approach to serve our aging seniors.

The space will provide support for the community of Uxbridge and beyond with both LTC and post-acute beds. The campus of care model will feature a hospital, a long-term care home, and an ambulatory care building.

No timelines were mentioned.
