The Ontario government has announced a full redevelopment of the Avalon Care Centre, Orangeville’s 40-year-old long term care facility.
The project will bring 23 new and 137 upgraded beds to the community, as well as air conditioning throughout the building, larger common areas for residents, and home-like living spaces.
The site will also provide diagnostic services and connections for home care.
“This innovative, expanded facility will reduce local wait times for long term care, ensuring more seniors can stay in the community, close to family and friends,” commented Orangeville Mayor Lisa Post.
The reconstruction is anticipated to be completed in the spring of 2026.
The Town of Orangeville and project contractors have committed to mitigating vehicular traffic through residential areas, however, some construction-related traffic can be anticipated in residential areas nearby.
