Construction is underway on a new 256-bed long-term care facility in Brighton, with officials breaking ground on the $100-million project on July 25.
Presqu’ile Place, being developed by Omni Quality Living at 20 Georgina St., is expected to expand access to long-term care in Northumberland County. The structure will include a mix of basic and private Rooms, resident areas, and modern amenity spaces.
The home is being developed in partnership with Fotenn Planning + Design, SRM Architects and VanDel Construction.
“Today marks a significant milestone for Northumberland County. When construction is complete, 256 residents will have a modern, comfortable home where they can access the care they need,” said Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, Ontario’s minister of long-term care.
The project is part of the province’s plan to build 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across Ontario.
“Today is an exciting milestone for the community of Brighton and the many families who call this area home,” said David Piccini, MPP for Northumberland—Peterborough South. “Presqu’ile Place represents more than just a building—it’s a commitment to making sure our seniors have the support and surroundings they deserve, close to the people and places they care about.”
Brighton Mayor Brian Ostrander also welcomed the development, pointing to the collaboration between local government and the private sector.
“We are grateful to Omni Quality Living and the Province of Ontario for choosing Brighton for their latest long term care development,” Ostrander said. “This project represents more than just bricks and mortar – it’s a commitment to compassionate care, community growth, and the well-being of our residents. We’re proud to welcome this investment in our municipality and are grateful for the collaboration between all levels of government and the private sector that have made it possible.”
Construction timelines and projected opening dates were not immediately disclosed.
