Premier Kathleen Wynne was in Arnprior Wednesday to announce the construction of a new 96-bed nursing home, adding 36 beds to the existing Grove nursing home for the elderly and upgrading conditions.
The new facility will be built connected to the old Grove nursing home on Ida Street North in Arnprior. The old Grove facility will be repurposed.
The extra beds have been touted as the key to keeping the Grove open past 2025.
The news came as a surprise to area residents who had been involved in a letter-writing and undraising campaign aimed at increasing the Grove’s capacity.
As recently as February, the chief executive of Arnprior Regional Health, which oversees the Grove, stated that without significant investment in the nursing home and the ability to add additional beds that the facility would be forced to close.
The province did not reveal how much money it is planning to invest in the new facility. The project is estimated to cost between $20 million and $24 million.
The money being spent under the government’s Enhanced Long-term Care Home Renewal Strategy which was announced in 2014.
