A request from the province for proposals as it looks to add beds in an effort to improve access to long-term care.
Private nursing homes across PEI will get up to 100 new beds over the next year. The provincial government is requesting proposals until July 25th for the first 50 beds to be ready by October and the remaining beds to be available by next June.
The addition of new long-term care beds was outlined in government’s latest budget.
