County approves apartment expansion study
Huron County Council has
approved a feasibility study that will
look at the potential expansion of the
Highland and Heartland Apartments,
in Brussels and Clinton respectively,
in the coming years.
Jolanta Linde-Martinsons,
administrator for Huronlea Home
for the Aged, presented her report to
council at its Sept. 21 committee of
the whole meeting, explaining that
the study will cost $25,000, which
had already been allocated in the
2016 budget.
"As noted in the 2014 Service
Delivery Review Report, there is a
high demand for municipal seniors'
apartments and long-term care
within Huron County," Linde-
Martinsons stated in her report. "The
wait times at Heartland and
Highland Apartments are still in the
range of three to five years.
Apartment tenants are reportedly
staying in the complex for five to 10
years and as a result, the wait list
and/or demand is not likely to
decrease in subsequent years"
While several councillors
acknowledged the current need for
homes, there was also a level of
concern that after the current
"bubble", the county might have
massive seniors' home buildings that
could stand empty because demand
had decreased.
In addition, there are a number of
private developments on the way,
including one in Seaforth, that could
take a big bite out of those waiting
for a home.
Linde-Martinsons also noted in
her report that the homes are a
significant driver for the local
economy and remain one of the
county's largest employers. She also
said that the care in county homes is
seen to be superior to private homes.
In her report, Linde-Martinsons
said that there are opportunities to
expand at both the Clinton and
Brussels sites if council were so
inclined. She also suggested an
architectural and engineering
feasibility study next year.
