Brantford LTC home undergoes expansion

BRANTFORD, ONT. — Construction is underway on a new building for John Noble Home in Brantford, Ont.

The new facility will add 40 new long-term-care beds to an existing 156-bed home.

The project was a recipient of the Construction Funding Subsidy top-up, stated a release.

The new building will be air conditioned and will include a new 20-bed behavioural specialized unit. It will offer programs and tools to care for residents with advanced cases of Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.

The home is part of an existing campus-of-care, which includes a community adult day program for individuals with dementia, 26 seniors apartment units attached to the home and a 56-unit seniors apartment complex on the grounds.

The new two-storey building will be an expansion of the existing home and will offer 20 private rooms on each floor. The new facility is expected to welcome its first residents in late 2025.

“Our government is fixing long-term care and ensuring we build homes for seniors in the communities they helped build,” said Minister of Long-Term Care Natalia Kusendova-Bashta in a statement. “Today marks a significant milestone for Brantford and Brant County. When construction on the new building is complete, 196 residents will have a modern and comfortable place to call home.”
