Niagara Health will close its 50-year-old Welland long-term care home by June due to costly upgrades, relocating 87 residents and affecting 140 staff.
Niagara Health will close its Welland long-term care facility by June due to the high cost of upgrading the 50-year-old building to meet modern safety standards, including mandatory sprinkler systems.
The closure affects 87 residents, some of whom have lived there for over a decade, and no new operator has stepped forward despite efforts to transfer operations.
Residents will be relocated with support from care coordinators and priority on the provincial waitlist.
Staff, around 140, will not face immediate layoffs but may see job reductions over time, with efforts underway to redeploy workers.
The site may be redeveloped into a broader campus of care, while a new hospital in south Niagara Falls will focus on specialized geriatric services.
