Ontario releases list of long-term care homes under construction across province

Ontario is in the midst of a plan aimed at creating 30,000 new long-term care beds by 2028.

The push to build new spaces for seniors comes after reports in 2020 of the horrific conditions in long-term care at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

More than 4,500 long-term care residents have died since the start of the pandemic, according to a June 2022 Public Health Ontario report.

In its fall economic statement, the Ford government provided a status update on projects across the province.
