Origin

(November 20, 2013) Report from the General Manager, Long-Term Care Homes and Services

Summary

Long-Term Care Homes and Services (LTCHS) has developed a capital renewal strategy to address the mandatory redevelopment of five (5) of its long-term care homes.  As directed by City Council on July 16, 2013 in the report "Update and Next Steps of Proposed Redevelopment of Seaton House and Revitalization of George Street", LTCHS is reporting back on how the Shelter, Support and Housing Administration (SSHA) redevelopment of Seaton House and revitalization of George Street can be integrated into LTCHS' overall capital renewal strategy and service plan to more effectively address the needs of an aging vulnerable population in downtown Toronto.

 

This report seeks authorization for LTCHS to proceed with its capital renewal planning based on the proposed framework, which includes integrating and co-locating services as part of the George Street Revitalization (GSR) Project. The capital renewal strategy has been developed within the context of the City's current long-term care bed inventory.
