“Helping to alleviate hallway medicine across the riding.”
That’s what Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece says will be accomplished with the addition of 41 new long-term care beds coming to the area.
The beds are part of the government’s commitment to adding 15,000 long-term care beds in five years, bringing the total number of allocated beds to 7,232.
Of the 16 projects, representing 1,157 long-term care new beds announced, Perth-Wellington will receive 41 beds over three different projects.
Royal Terrace in Palmerston will receive 29 new beds, Saugeen Valley Nursing Centre in Mount Forest will receive nine beds and Knollcrest Lodge in Milverton will receive three beds.
