The New Birches Nursing Home will replace the existing facility with a modern, thoughtfully designed space that meets the needs of today’s residents while honouring their dignity, independence, and personal choices.
Part of the Department of Seniors and Long-Term Care’s Continuing Care Renewal Strategy, the new single-storey home will feature two 24-bed households, designed to feel comfortable, familiar, and easy to navigate. Residents will enjoy bright, welcoming spaces—indoors and out—that support social connection, daily routines, and meaningful activity.
The building will reflect a residential scale and character, helping residents feel truly at home. A large Community Connection Room will serve as a gathering place for residents and visitors alike, supported by essential on-site services like a central kitchen and laundry.
