A long-term care home in downtown Toronto, the Rekai Centre’s Cherry Place, is being redesigned to enhance infection control and address emotional and social needs, informed by COVID-19 lessons. The new facility will feature smaller resident cohorts, improved private rooms, and communal spaces, aiming for a home-like atmosphere. Experts argue Ontario’s long-term care standards are outdated, recommending smaller care models to improve resident wellbeing and reduce disease spread. The redesign reflects a shift towards prioritizing residents’ quality of life and health amidst ongoing concerns about care standards in the province.
