“These beds will help address the hospital pressures in Sudbury and will address the long wait list for long-term care,” Tim Lukenda, president and CEO of Extendicare said.
“In addition, they will facilitate the redevelopment of our older homes like Extendicare York so that we can provide our residents with dignity and privacy that they deserve.”
