What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Palace, a 70-bed long-term care facility in Alexandria, is slated for closure as part of a plan by Southbridge Care Homes to consolidate beds into a new 320-bed facility in Cornwall. North Glengarry Council unanimously opposed the proposal to relocate these beds, urging the Ministry of Long-Term Care to maintain local capacity. The council resolution asks the Ministry to reject the proposed license modification unless satisfactory measures are identified to maintain equivalent or greater care capacity within North Glengarry.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The closure plan involves consolidating beds from three existing homes—The Palace, Heartwood, and Pinecrest—into a single new facility in Cornwall. Local government is actively seeking a Private Public Partnership to prevent the closure of The Palace, highlighting the financial challenges of upgrading the current facility.
