Good news for the patients at the Grand Manan nursing home -- especially those recently taken to other facilities due to a mold problem.
Social Development Minister Sue Stultz announcing the government will be replacing the facility after meeting with residents, staff and administration.
She tells CHSJ News the mold and move issue wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back but did make it a bit more paramount to get a plan into action.
She adds the displaced residents will be moved back in about two weeks once the mold has been taken care of.
As for the new facility, she says department staff will meet with nursing home representatives next week but no timeline has been announced for the new building.
