Grand Opening - New Mountain Lea Lodge
"Residents have moved in and are settling into their new single rooms at Mountain Lea Lodge in Bridgetown.
The new long-term care home on Church Street has 96 resident rooms and replaces the former Mountain Lea Lodge. It is the ninth new and replacement home to open, as part of the government’s plan to build and improve 5,700 long-term care rooms in communities across Nova Scotia by 2032.
“The new Mountain Lea Lodge is more than a building; it is a comfortable home for many seniors, a modern workplace for the dedicated people who work there, and an important part of this community,” said Barbara Adams, Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care. “The opening of this home is part of the very strong progress we are making in our plan to expand and modernize long-term care across Nova Scotia.”
Residents, families and staff members celebrated the new home’s grand opening November 5. It features common rooms for residents to enjoy activities, spaces for families to have private time, a hair salon, a café, rooms for specialized care and more.
Every resident has a single room with a private washroom. Residents live in six smaller “households” within the home, made up of 16 residents each.
The opening of the new Mountain Lea Lodge brings the number of new and replacement rooms now open to more than 1,400. Construction is underway on an additional 2,000 rooms. These are expected to open over the next few years."
