New Partnership Helps LTC in Ingersoll

Long-term care is a major focus in Ingersoll, and a new partnership will help meet the need.

INGERSOLL - A new partnership is coming to Ingersoll.

The town is teaming up with peopleCare Communities to help enhance the campus model for long-term care. peopleCare develops senior living communities of care that can include senior’s apartments, retirement, assisted living and LTC, depending on the needs of each community. The Town is locating a LTC home on the same site as the Town’s new multi-use recreation centre in a campus model, which will offer numerous benefits to both projects. Those benefits include; shared infrastructure reducing overall development costs, intergenerational programming opportunities between MURC users and care facility residents, enhanced quality of life for seniors through access to recreation amenities, increased visitors to the area, supporting local businesses, greater efficiencies in municipal service delivery, as well as local, regional and provincial priorities achieved.

peopleCare has worked closely with senior leadership at Alexandra/Tillsonburg Memorial Hospitals, Woodstock General Hospital, Oxford & Area Ontario Health Team, and other community support service agencies to enhance supports for residents to live and age well across the County. They have also cared for seniors in Tavistock for close to 60 years, and are in partnership with a 160-bed LTC home project in Tillsonburg, giving them a long-standing partnership in Oxford County.
