A huge investment has been announced for St. Lawrence Lodge in Brockville.
Last week, MPP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes Steve Clark announced $2,462,501 in funding from the province and Federal government to improve and make upgrades at the long term care home.
Clarke says the investment is on top of funding that was previously announced for Wellington House in Prescott, Bayfield Manor in Kemptville, and Mapleview Lodge in Athens.
He says it’s all part of the province’s commitment to improve long-term care.
“It is good news for those facilities, and again, it’s part of a collaborative effort between the province and Federal government to help long-term care residents in Ontario,” Clark said.
