New facility adds 224 modern long-term care beds in Stouffville
The Ontario government is marking the opening of the Mon Sheong Dr. Paul Woo Long-Term Care Centre in Stouffville, a new facility that will add 224 modern long-term care beds to the community and expand capacity for senior care in the region.
The project is part of the province’s broader strategy to expand long-term care infrastructure while supporting employment and improving services for residents. The new home received a construction funding subsidy top-up from the provincial government and aligns with Ontario’s plan to expand access to long-term care as demand for senior services continues to grow.
“The opening of the new Mon Sheong Dr. Paul Woo Long-Term Care Centre marks a major milestone in our government’s plan to protect residents and increase access to world-class health care across the province,” said Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, Minister of Long-Term Care. “Now that construction has been completed on a second Mon Sheong home in Stouffville, 224 more residents have a safe and modern place to call home.”
Designed for modern long-term care
The newly opened facility has been designed with a model intended to create a more personalized living environment for residents. The home is organized into seven “resident home areas,” each accommodating up to 32 residents and featuring its own dining areas, activity spaces, lounges and bedrooms.
The centre also includes therapy and activity rooms on every floor, a beauty salon, a multi-faith worship space and palliative care programs. Residents will also have access to a secure outdoor courtyard overlooking a pond.
Provincial officials say the new facility will also generate significant employment in the region. More than 300 jobs are expected to be supported by the centre, including positions in nursing, personal support work, dietary services, program support and administration.
Expanding a growing seniors’ care campus
The Dr. Paul Woo Long-Term Care Centre is located on Sandiford Drive and sits next to the existing Mon Sheong Stouffville Long-Term Care Centre, a 320-bed facility that opened in October 2021. Both homes are part of a larger campus dedicated to senior living and care services.
The campus is expected to continue expanding. A third Mon Sheong long-term care facility with 320 beds is currently in the planning phase. Once completed, the three homes together would create a campus with a total capacity of 864 long-term care beds.
Local officials say the development reflects years of efforts to improve access to long-term care services in the region.
“The opening of the Mon Sheong Dr. Paul Woo Long-Term Care Centre is an important milestone for our community. In 2018, our community was one of the most underserved in the province. Today, we are leading the way with greater access to new, modern long-term care homes. This means better care right here in our community for the same people who helped build our town.”

Municipal leaders also highlighted the importance of the project in meeting the needs of a growing and diverse population.
“The opening of the Mon Sheong Dr. Paul Woo Long Term Care Centre is a proud moment for Stouffville and a meaningful investment in the care and dignity of our seniors. This modern, purpose built home strengthens our community by expanding access to high quality long term care while reflecting Mon Sheong Foundation’s longstanding commitment to culturally responsive services. We are grateful to the Province of Ontario and all partners who helped bring this important project to life for the residents and families who call Stouffville home.”

Part of Ontario’s long-term care expansion strategy
The new centre is one component of Ontario’s ongoing effort to expand and modernize long-term care facilities across the province. The initiative forms part of the government’s commitment to build 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds, as outlined in the 2025 Ontario Budget: A Plan to Protect Ontario.
As of January 2026, the province reports that 164 projects representing 25,893 new and redeveloped beds are completed, under construction, or have received approval to begin construction.
The government has also introduced the Long-Term Care Home Capital Funding Policy and Capital Funding Program to support new builds and redevelopment projects. The program replaced earlier construction funding subsidies introduced in 2022 and is designed to better account for regional cost differences and the needs of operators.
Tim Kwan, chairman of the Mon Sheong Foundation, said the new facility represents a significant milestone for the organization as it continues expanding services for seniors.
“With the addition of 224 new care beds at the Dr. Paul Woo Long-Term Care Centre, we now operate a total of 1,001 beds across five locations, making us the largest non-municipal, non-profit long-term care provider in Ontario. We are dedicated to expanding quality senior care to those in need, and our active development of new long-term care centres is made possible by the unwavering support of all levels of government, sponsors, donors and the community.”

Provincial officials say efforts to accelerate construction of new long-term care homes will continue through funding reforms, partnerships with operators and the use of available public lands to support development in high-demand areas.
