A redevelopment project in Amherstburg will deliver 160 new and upgraded long-term care beds while supporting more than 370 jobs in the surrounding community.

The project involves the redevelopment of the Chateau Park Long-Term Care Home and is expected to be completed in summer 2027. The new facility will replace an existing 59-bed long-term care home in Windsor and add 101 new beds, creating a larger, modern residence for seniors.

Construction and related activity are expected to support about 130 jobs, while more than 200 permanent positions will be created when the home opens. These include roles in nursing, personal support work, dietary services, programming and administration, in addition to the 90 jobs maintained from the existing home.

“Delivering modern health-care infrastructure starts with the skilled workers who build and support it,” David Piccini, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, said in a statement. “This redevelopment will create hundreds of good-paying jobs for skilled tradespeople and health-care professionals while delivering 160 modern long-term care beds for seniors in Amherstburg.

“By investing in projects like this, our government is protecting Ontario’s health-care system, supporting our world-class workforce and building the facilities that communities need for the future.”
