Sherwood Park Manor received another Donation Towards its Redevelopment Fundraising Campaign on Tuesday

Brockville – Sherwood Park Manor received another boost to its redevelopment fundraising campaign on Tuesday with a presentation of a cheque for $10,900 from 100 Women Who Care 1000 Islands.

The campaign is closing in on $3 million raised, which is 60% of $5 million, the local share of the $46-million project cost. The majority of funding is coming from the provincial government.

Construction began last fall on the redevelopment project which will provide a new 128-bed, state-of-the-art facility, adding 96 modern long-term care beds.

The redevelopment was fast-tracked last fall with support from the Ontario government’s increased construction funding subsidy.

“The start of the construction project has everyone involved with Sherwood Park Manor excited for the future. It will provide the community with additional beds that are sorely needed. Thank you to the provincial government, our Board of Directors and everyone involved for their work on this to get us to today.” said Alfred O’Rourke,  Fundraising Campaign Chair and Former Administrator of Sherwood Park Manor

The redevelopment will add four storeys to the existing home and is expected to welcome its first residents in fall 2025. The home will feature design improvements, including larger resident common areas and air conditioning throughout the home.

The design is centred around ‘resident home areas’, each of which creates a more intimate and familiar living space for up to 32 residents, with dining and activity areas, lounges and bedrooms. Resident areas will include a guest suite, physiotherapy room, pop-up shop, tuck shop and beauty salon.

Once complete, the expanded Sherwood Park Manor intends to offer behavioural support and convalescent care services. The home will also be part of a campus of care, which helps integrate the long-term care home into the broader healthcare system and ensures residents can conveniently connect to the care they need.

Sherwood Park Manor is a not-for-profit home which is licensed to and operated by Sherwood Park Manor.
