Ontario Finishes Major Construction on New Long-Term Care Home in Toronto

News Release
March 30, 2026

New 122-bed long-term care home is part of the grand opening of the Generations Toronto Campus by the Aga Khan

TORONTO — The Ontario government is celebrating the opening of the new Generations Toronto Campus today, including the provincially-funded long-term care home, which will add 122 modern beds to the city. Generations Toronto, part of a 60-acre campus, was inaugurated today by His Highness the Aga Khan and is part of a national initiative to improve health outcomes for seniors. The campus includes affordable housing, health-care services, child care and more.

“After breaking ground on Generations Toronto Campus with Prince Amyn Aga Khan in 2022, our government is proud to see the completion of the 122-bed long-term care home to support Toronto’s Ismaili community,” said Premier Doug Ford. “As part of a campus with 390 affordable homes, on-site health care, child care and community programming, Generations Toronto is a place where families can thrive together, alongside relatives who need more care.”

The new modern home is supported by the province’s construction funding subsidy top-up and is part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario by creating good jobs and building for the future, while ensuring long-term care residents get the quality of care and quality of life they need and deserve.

“The inauguration of the new Generations Toronto long-term care home 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. “With construction coming to completion, 122 residents will soon have a safe and modern place to call home.”

The new home will consist of two floors in a 27-storey building and will feature shared amenities on the main floor, including program and community spaces. It will primarily serve the Shia Ismaili Muslim community and will provide culturally appropriate services that reflect the needs of this community, while supporting the diverse cultural needs of all residents. Once open, the home will support 125 good-paying jobs including full-time staff positions in nursing, personal support work, nutrition services, programming and administration.

“In the Islamic tradition, care for the elderly is not a social policy,” said His Highness the Aga Khan. “It is a duty. Reverence for those who came before us, solidarity across generations, responsibility to the places where we live – these are the ethical commitments that guide the Ismaili Muslim community.”

“Today’s opening of the Generations Toronto Campus, inaugurated by His Highness the Aga Khan, is a major step forward in delivering complete, caring communities to Torontonians,” said Mayor Olivia Chow. “This important project will serve the Ismaili community in Toronto while also supporting the diverse needs of all residents. The City of Toronto is proud to support this project with more than $17.5 million in incentives, along with additional funding from other levels of government, helping bring this vision to life and ensuring more residents have access to safe, modern care.”

This project is part of the Ontario government’s continued progress toward its commitment to build 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province, as outlined in the 2026 Ontario Budget: A Plan to Protect Ontario. The plan to improve long-term care is built on four pillars: staffing and care; quality and enforcement; building modern, safe and comfortable homes; and connecting seniors with faster, more convenient access to the services they need.

Quick Facts
  • Generations Toronto long-term care is licensed to and operated by Multi-Generational Housing and Community Centres Toronto, a not-for-profit organization.
  • Generations Toronto will also be part of a multi-generational, community living campus that includes affordable housing, an early childhood development centre, a community kitchen, a medical clinic and a fitness centre, along with multi-use spaces for cultural, educational and social programming.
  • As of January 2026, 164 projects representing a total of 25,893 new and redeveloped beds are completed, under construction or have ministry approval to start construction across the province.
  • The government is continuing its ambitious and extensive long-term care construction campaign with the 2025 Long-Term Care Home Capital Funding Policy and Capital Funding Program (CFP). The CFP provides a funding framework that better reflects regional cost variations while addressing diverse operator needs within the long-term care sector.
  • The CFP replaced the construction funding subsidy (CFS) and the time-limited CFS top-up that were introduced in 2022 and resulted in the largest construction of long-term care projects the government has achieved in a single year.
  • The province is taking innovative steps to get long-term care homes built, including modernizing its funding model, selling unused lands with the requirement that long-term care homes be built on portions of the properties, and leveraging hospital-owned land to build urgently needed homes in large urban areas.
