CHATHAM, ONT. — The Ontario government has announced that construction is underway at St. Angela’s Meadow Care Centre, a redeveloped long-term care home in Chatham-Kent, Ont.
The 160-bed home will be built on a new site in Chatham and will provide 61 new and 99 upgraded beds in private and semi-private rooms, stated a release. The care centre is a redevelopment of the former Meadow Park Nursing Home and is expected to be completed and ready to accept its first residents by spring 2026.
The new building will feature larger resident common areas and air conditioning. The design is centred around five resident home areas that create a more personalized living space with dining and activity areas, lounges and bedrooms for up to 32 residents.
The home will also be part of a campus of care, which helps integrate the long-term care home into the broader health care system.
Ontario is funding another two projects in Chatham-Kent, including the development of long-term care homes in Chatham and Blenheim. The three projects will provide 84 new and 268 upgraded long-term-care beds, for a total of 352 beds.
“Our government is fixing long-term care and a key part of that plan is building modern, safe and comfortable homes for our seniors,” stated Minister of Long-Term Care Paul Calandra in the release. “Today marks a significant milestone for Chatham-Kent. When construction is completed, 160 residents will have a new place to call home, near their family and friends.”
