By Rosalind Russell – Algoma Manor is one of the 17 homes participating in the province’s new Improving Dementia Care Program and increasing access to behavioural specialized units.
Long-term care minister Natalia Kusendova-Bashta says the province is investing $9 million over three years in the program to better support residents living with dementia.
Launched in September 2025, she adds the government has now selected Algoma Manor and 16 other homes to participate in the program this year and will fund nearly 50 homes by 2027-28.
She says there is also an investment of $3.35 million in 2025-26 and an other $9.82 million annually from 2026-27 onwards to add up to 153 behavioural specialized beds in five long-term care homes across the province.
