Ontario Breaks Ground on Presqu’ile Place Long-Term Care Home in Brighton
Major Long-Term Care Investment for Northumberland County
BRIGHTON – Construction is officially underway on Presqu’ile Place, a new 256-bed long-term care home in Brighton, Ontario. The project is part of the provincial government’s plan to increase capacity and improve the quality of long-term care for seniors across Ontario.
Announced by the Ministry of Long-Term Care, the project received funding support through the Construction Funding Subsidy top-up program, designed to accelerate the development of new homes where they are needed most.
Modern Design with Resident-Focused Features
Presqu’ile Place will feature eight Resident Home Areas (RHAs) to provide a more intimate, community-style living experience. Each RHA will include:
-
Dining and activity spaces
-
Lounges and gathering areas
-
Bedrooms with private balconies
The home will also offer shared amenities such as outdoor gardens, a multipurpose room, a bistro, a place of worship, and on-site salon services—all aimed at improving the quality of life for residents.

Timeline and Projected Completion
The new home is expected to open its doors to residents in 2027, adding much-needed long-term care capacity in the region. This project is one of 148 developments across Ontario that are either under construction, completed, or approved for ministry funding as of July 2025.
Community and Government Reactions
Minister of Long-Term Care Natalia Kusendova-Bashta called the groundbreaking a major step toward ensuring “modern, comfortable homes where Ontario families need them most.”
MPP David Piccini described the project as “an exciting milestone for the community,” while Brighton Mayor Brian Ostrander said it “represents a commitment to compassionate care, community growth, and the well-being of our residents.”
Omni Quality Living, the developer, noted that the home will include both private and basic room options to accommodate different needs.
Part of a Larger Provincial Strategy
This project supports Ontario’s long-term goal of 58,000 new and redeveloped beds, outlined in the 2025 Ontario Budget: A Plan to Protect Ontario. The initiative is focused on four key pillars:
-
Staffing and care improvements
-
Strengthening quality and enforcement
-
Building modern, safe, and comfortable homes
-
Connecting seniors with faster, more convenient access to health services
