Project overview

The Linhaven long-term care home is being redeveloped on the existing Linhaven site at 403 Ontario St. in St. Catharines between Alzheimer Society of Niagara and Hospice Niagara.

The new Linhaven redevelopment project will be a five-storey, non-combustible structure which includes 256 long-term care beds and the Seniors Community Hub. Once the new building is complete and residents have moved in, the old building will be demolished.

Our project partners include Buttcon Limited  and MMMC Architects.

Features

The new Linhaven long-term care home will have a cozy, home-like feeling. Each resident home area is subdivided into two 16-bed wings, featuring a shorter hallway with a sitting area at the end of the corridor and its own spa / shower area.

The main floor includes a library, chapel, cafe / store, 1950s diner, auditorium and accessible outdoor spaces. The hair salon will provide services to both long-term care residents and seniors from the surrounding community.

The new Linhaven long-term care home and Seniors Community Hub is being redeveloped to facilitate the integration of services for residents, seniors, their families and the community.

The Seniors Community Hub features an Adult Day Program area, exercise room, cafe seating, program kitchen and dining, conference room and courtyard.

Linhaven will be pursuing WELL Silver certification under the WELL Building Standard. The WELL Building Standard supports the health and well-being of residents and staff who will be living and working in the new facilities, together with guests, families and volunteers who visit and use the amenities. The WELL Building Standard is premised on a holistic approach and is focused on enhancing people's health and well-being through the built environment.

Project milestones

We will provide expected building completion and resident move-in dates once determined with the construction teams.
