Potential Long Term Care Home in Waterdown
The City of Hamilton is preparing to seek interested parties to develop and operate a portion of 207 Parkside Drive with a Long Term Care (LTC) Home. The anticipated plan includes the creation of 40 LTC beds on a portion of municipal land adjacent to YMCA building. At present, LTC occupancy rates sit at 98% or greater and at any given time, Hamilton has a range of 1500 to 2000 residents on the Ontario Health at Home waitlist.

Date: Thursday, September 25
Time: 4:30 to 6pm (Open House) & 6:30 to 7:15 pm (Presentation, same information as the Open House)
