Algonquin Nursing HomeA plan to build a new Algonquin Nursing home is becoming a reality.

Provincial approval has been received to build a new 72-bed facility.

President & CEO Jeremy Stevenson says it’s a plan that has been five years in the making.

He details where the new facility will be located.

Depending on the bidding process, it could be an estimated $15-million project.

Stevenson says they hope to have details soon on construction timelines.

He says they’ll be meeting with the Minister next week, asking about next steps and looking at the architectural drawings and agreements and going from there.

Overall, Stevenson says a lot of people have supported them in getting to this point.
