Pandemic does not stop new Providence Manor from rising up Thanks to the generosity of donors, the dream of a new Providence Manor is becoming a reality. At a time when there is critical attention being paid to conditions within long-term care homes, we know the importance of ensuring they are built to provide some of our most vulnerable residents with a safe, inclusive home where they can live with dignity. “This year has been one like no other, and the people we care for matter the most. We know we need to protect all who chose to live at Providence Manor, and we are planning to design and build a place where they can live safely,” says Providence Care President and CEO Cathy Szabo. This is a monumental task, given limited resources from the province, and is something that could not be done without the generous support of donors.

“We’re really excited about the new Providence Manor building at Providence Village,” adds Krista Wells Pearce, Vice-President, Planning and Corporate Support Services, Providence Care. “What excites me the most is the positive impact the new building is going to have on the lives of residents, families and staff for years to come.” Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2022. Once complete in the spring of 2024, Providence Manor will leave its Sydenham Street location downtown and relocate to the new Providence Village. The state-of-the-art, longterm care home will meet the needs of residents and families well into the future. The new home will have more beds and will bring all of the best features from the existing home to life in a new space. Continued on page 2...
