A new 60-bed long-term care home is slated to open in Summerside in the spring of 2029, the provincial government announced. Enhanced Living will manage the private facility. The Prince Edward Island government has committed to providing $7.4 million each year for the next 30 years to cover infrastructure and operational expenses.
This development is part of the province's broader goal to add 175 new long-term care beds across P.E.I. Health and Wellness Minister Cory Deagle noted the significant need for these beds, which impacts emergency room wait times and hospital capacity. Mayor Dan Kutcher emphasized the importance of this new home for supporting Summerside's growth and keeping residents close to their families. The specific location for the facility is still to be announced.
