This transformative revitalization will create 64 new long-term care beds and 66 upgraded beds, modern spaces, updated equipment, private rooms, and increased square footage.

The hope is people will register to join in and help to ensure the IOOF continues to provide essential and compassionate care to the residents and their families.
