Long-Term Care
Future Fall River Campus Development
This is a unique model for Northwood. It is being developed in partnership with Vision 7 Developments.
The campus will include outdoor amenities and activities. Stay tuned as this project evolves.
We also have two very unique LongTerm Care facility projects that are in the planning stage.
On March 23, 2023 government approved the location of our new 144 -bed Long-Term Care facility in Fall River.
The facility will be part of a campus that will include independent and supportive living options.
Bedford Memory Care Innovation Centre
The 48-bed Bedford Memory Care Long-Term Care Facility concept has been approved. It is being designed to meet the needs of LTC residents with advanced dementia who require level 2 care. Our new build will be a technology -enhanced innovative memory care facility called Northwood Live More Village & Innovation Centre. This facility will be based on Northwood’s own learnings through research projects and informed by the work and concept of the Hogeweyk (Dementia Village) in the Netherlands.
We have begun our discussions with The Department of Seniors and LongTerm Care and Nova Scotia Health as to what is possible and where and how we can position this new facility to be as effective as possible. This discussion includes determining how the placement process will work.
Ivy Meadows
In 2022, Northwood was asked to operate the 36-bed Ivy Meadows facility in Beaver Bank, partly in response to the reduction of 100 LTC beds at our Halifax Campus.
We are extremely excited to announce that the Ivy Meadows transition was completed on April 1st, 2023. On that day, the new signs were installed and Ivy Meadows in Beaver Bank was officially added to the list of Northwood LTC facilities.
The original Ivy team continues to work at that site, but Northwood has been supplementing and supporting operations there to increase their resident numbers. The support for this initiative comes from teams across Northwood, including LTC, Infrastructure, HR, Finance, Health Services, etc. We are thrilled to welcome the Ivy Meadows team to the Northwood family.
