The Province Announces New Nursing Home Plan

The Province announcing a $329 million dollar plan to add 354 nursing home beds in the province. Social Development Minister Sue Stultz says the new plan saves 110 million dollars from the original plan announced by the previous Liberal government in 2009.


Interim Liberal Leader Victor Boudreau says the government is cutting the quality of nursing homes.
He says the government is trying to cut corners by building nursing homes cheaper all on the back of our seniors.

The government says 704 specialized care beds will be created by the private sector for the care of people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
