Niagara Falls to build $20M private hospice facility
What happened
Plans were announced for Millie’s Place, a 10-bed residential facility for end-of-life care in Niagara Falls. The $20-million project will be privately funded, anchored by a $3-million donation from Stewart Branscombe. The facility will be operated by Hotel Dieu Shaver Health and Rehabilitation Centre, which is based in St. Catharines.
Why it matters
The project represents a significant private investment in local healthcare infrastructure. Jim Diodati noted that the Ministry of Health recommends a partnership between a dedicated hospice and a rehabilitation hospital, which this facility model utilizes.
Mayor Jim Diodati previously addressed a plan concerning vulnerable populations in Niagara Falls, alongside announcements of housing grants from the provincial government.
