The expansion is part of the government\u2019s plan to protect Ontario by creating good jobs and building\u00a0 for the future, while ensuring seniors get the quality of care and quality of life they need and\u00a0 deserve.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis expansion is great news for residents of Parry Sound, and is part of our plan to protect seniors and increase access to world-class care across our province,\u201d said John Jordan, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Long-Term Care. \u201cWhen construction is complete, 22 additional residents will have a safe and modern place to call home.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Belvedere Heights long-term care home encourages residents to take a purposeful living approach by designing an environment with small, intimate seating areas that encourage social interaction.&nbsp; The home follows the Eden Alternative Model of Care, which focuses on enhancing resident and &nbsp;community engagement. The home is expected to welcome additional residents in winter 2027.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project is part of the Ontario government\u2019s commitment to build 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province. The plan to improve care for seniors is built on four pillars:\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur government remains committed to strengthening Ontario&#8217;s long-term care system, and nowhere is this commitment more evident than in Parry Sound-Muskoka. I&#8217;m thrilled that this important project is getting underway. The addition of 22 beds in Belvedere Heights will help those across West Parry Sound and McMurrich Monteith who need long-term care services, remain closer to home. I\u2019m thankful to the Belvedere Heights board for helping to make this expansion a reality\u00a0and grateful to the Ministry of Long-Term Care for expanded funding to support seniors in our\u00a0community,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Graydon Smith, MPP for Parry Sound-Muskoka.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Construction is underway to add 22 modern long-term care beds at Belvedere Heights, a long-term care home in Parry Sound.
