With construction progress hitting the 85 percent mark, the new Grove Nursing Home remains on target to open in late summer 2021.
Construction has been on-going throughout the pandemic and remaining activities include: completing the courtyard, ongoing electrical work, finalizing drywall installation, continuing interior painting and completing the exterior siding installation.
While McDonald Brothers Construction attends to these tasks, the Grove Team is focused on the planning and logistics for moving day, and helping to ensure residents have a smooth transition to their new home.
The new Grove embraces a community-style of living and is organized in three Resident Home Areas, or neighbourhoods, each with its own dining room, living room, single and two-bed rooms and a dedicated care team.
The Resident Home Areas will be named Maple Avenue, Oak Crescent and Pine Lane and this theme will also be incorporated into some of the final design including the interior signage.
A recruitment plan will help meet the needs of the expanded long-term care residence.
