He said representatives from the North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network (which co-ordinates and manages public health dollars on behalf of the Ministry) will be in attendance as well as representatives from Fairvern. Members of the public are also invited to weigh in on Fairvern being licensed for an additional 20 beds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely Fairvern needs an additional 20 beds. It helps make us more financially sustainable at that size than at 76 (beds). We\u2019ve seen our waiting list for residents more than double over the last 18 to 24 months, so there\u2019s obviously from a waiting list perspective a huge need for additional beds for seniors,\u201d said Laver who hopes to receive a green light from the Ministry for the additional beds and to proceed with the home\u2019s capital redevelopment plans in the very near future.<\/p>\n<p>Laver hopes community members will attend the meeting and voice their support for additional long-term care beds for Fairvern, which also form part of its redevelopment plans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
