flag 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. flag 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. flag Residents will be relocated with support from care coordinators and priority on the provincial waitlist. flag Staff, around 140, will not face immediate layoffs but may see job reductions over time, with efforts underway to redeploy workers. flag 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.
