Shovels are in the ground for the new long term care home
On July 16, several of us board members and many from the larger community attended the ground-breaking ceremony the site of the old Christian School (115AVE and 36ST). After many years as an empty field, the site is being turned into a long term care home by Park Place. The new building will have 264 beds, courtyards, social activities, and will provide over 260 jobs.
The project is a collaboration between Park Place and all three levels of government. Moving the first golden spade-fuls of soil were Al Jina, president of Park Place; Jason Nixon, Minister for Assisted Living and Social Services; Mayor Amarjeet Sohi; and Ashley Salvador, Councillor for Ward Métis.
Park Place has a 32 year history providing homes for seniors with varying care needs from independent living to complex healthcare requirements. They have 41 building totals with several in the Edmonton area. Beverly Heights Seniors Living will take the place of the existing Hardisty location.
