Great News!

More seniors in need of long-term care will soon have a new place to call home with the opening of Opal Ridge Hall in Dartmouth.

Each resident will have a single room and private washroom in the new, modern 144-bed facility, operated by Shannex. This is the fifth long-term care home to open of the more than 50 new and replacement facilities to be built by 2032.

Sixteen residents will live in each of the home’s nine “neighbourhoods.” Along with resident rooms, each neighbourhood has a dining room, living room and activity areas. The home also has a hair salon, rehabilitation space, a suite for families and a main street area with spaces for activities and socializing. The neighbourhoods and common spaces are all named after local places and landmarks in Dartmouth.

Residents start moving in this week.

With these rooms, more than 1,000 of the 5,700 single long-term care rooms being built and replaced are now open. Another 2,000 rooms are now under construction. A dashboard with the status of the new and replacement builds across the province is available at: https://novascotia.ca/long-term-care-rooms-progress-updates/
