Construction Underway for New Four Seasons Lodge in Deep River
DEEP RIVER — Construction has begun on The Four Seasons Lodge, a new 96-bed long-term care home in Deep River. The project, a beneficiary of the recently extended Construction Funding Subsidy top-up program, is part of the Ontario government’s initiative to build over 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province.
“Congratulations to the team at Deep River and District Health on the construction of this new home. Our government is fixing long-term care and ensuring we build homes for seniors in the communities they helped build,” said Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, Minister of Long-Term Care. “Today marks a significant milestone for Deep River. When construction is complete, 96 residents will have a modern and comfortable place to call home.”

The new Four Seasons Lodge will replace the existing 14-bed long-term care home, adding 86 new and 10 upgraded and redeveloped beds. It is anticipated to welcome its first residents in early 2027.
Designed to modern standards, the building will be fully air-conditioned and will feature three “resident home areas,” each providing an intimate and familiar living space for up to 32 residents, complete with dining and activity areas, lounges, and bedrooms.
The new Four Seasons Lodge will be adjacent to the Deep River and District Hospital, forming part of a campus of care. This setup integrates the long-term care home into the broader healthcare system, ensuring residents have convenient access to the care they need.
The Ontario government’s plan to fix long-term care is built on four pillars: staffing and care; quality and enforcement; building modern, safe, and comfortable homes; and connecting seniors with faster, more convenient access to the services they need.
