Building new long-term care homes strengthens communities and local economies.

In New Hamburg, construction of the new Nithview long-term care home is generating $91.9 million in GDP, with $60.4 million in labour income that supports local jobs, trades, and economic growth.

When complete, this home will offer 160 modern spaces to call home. Because aging in place should mean aging in your community, surrounded by the people and places you know and love.

Quality improvement happens every day in long-term care, wherever teams are asking how we can do better for residents, families and staff.

At , a full conference stream will explore the questions teams are working through right now, from infection prevention and medication use to mental health, resident safety, serious illness conversations and more.

You’ll hear what others are trying, what they’re learning and what you can bring back to strengthen care in your own home.

That’s what This is Long Term Care is all about: bringing people together, sharing practical ideas and learning from one another as we continue to move care forward.

Join us October 26–28. Register today: https://thisisltc.com/registration-2026/

Sometimes, meaningful connection begins with something as simple as a cup of coffee and time to sit together.

For LTC Community Engagement Day last year, Southbridge Owen Sound hosted a tea and coffee hour, bringing residents, team members and visitors together for conversation, something sweet and the chance to enjoy one another’s company.

There is no single way to take part in Community Engagement Day. What matters is creating space for people to connect, strengthen relationships and celebrate the vibrant communities within long-term care.

On September 18, homes across Ontario will open their doors and bring their communities together. How will you take part?

“The care that she received in this place, we will never forget it. It was incredible.” — MP John Brassard

For 25 years, Roberta Place has been shaped by the residents who call it home, the families who place their trust in its care and the dedicated team members who bring compassion and connection to each day.

OLTCA joined residents, families and team members, alongside MP John Brassard CPC, Barrie Mayor Alex Nuttall and Minister Andrea Khanjin, to celebrate this meaningful milestone and the many relationships and memories behind it.

Congratulations to everyone who has been part of Roberta Place’s story, and who will carry its strong sense of community into the years ahead.
