MacMaster said the project was announced a long time ago, noting it is part of an effort to set up 2,500 new private nursing home rooms across the province. He explained the Foyer Pere Fiset expansion won’t mean more beds, but it will mean more rooms and more space for workers and caregivers.
MacMaster called it a great announcement for residents and the people working at the home.
