Ontario Breaks Ground on Long-Term Care Home in Brighton

BRIGHTON — Construction is underway to build Presqu’ile Place, a new 256-bed long-term care home in Brighton, Ontario. This project is a recipient of the Construction Funding Subsidy top-up and is part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario by creating good jobs and building for the future, while ensuring long-term care residents get the quality of care and quality of life they need and deserve.

“Our government is protecting Ontarians and strengthening our long-term care sector by building more homes where Ontario families need them most,” said Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, Minister of Long-Term Care. “Today marks a significant milestone for Northumberland County. When construction is complete, 256 residents will have a modern, comfortable home where they can access the care they need.”

The new Presqu’ile Place home will feature eight Resident Home Areas (RHAs), designed to create a more intimate and familiar living space for residents. Each RHA features dining and activity areas, lounges and bedrooms with balconies. The home's amenities are designed to foster resident engagement and support overall quality of life. The amenities include outdoor gardens and seating, a place of worship, multipurpose rooms, a bistro and a hair salon and barber shop.

Presqu’ile Place is expected to welcome its first residents in 2027.

This project is part of the Ontario government’s continued progress toward its commitment to build 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province, as outlined in the 2025 Ontario Budget: A Plan to Protect Ontario. The government is fixing long-term care to ensure Ontarians get the quality of care and quality of life they need and deserve. The plan to improve care for long-term care residents is built on four pillars: staffing and care; quality and enforcement; building modern, safe, and comfortable homes; and connecting seniors with faster, more convenient access to the services they need.
