Expanded Long-Term Care In Hanover

Ontario is opening 26 new long-term care beds in Hanover.

That brings the number of beds at Village Seniors Community to 96.

The redevelopment plan for the project now enters a Capital and Licensing Review.

The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care says it is part of a commitment to creating 5,000 long-term care beds across Ontario in the next four years.

The province says funding for long-term care since 2003 increased from $2.1-billion to more than $4.14-billion.
