The 6th floor ‘Cida Vale Terrace’ is a residential/commercial complex on the 19th floor.
A long-term care home in Toronto’s Forest Hills area that has been operating for 40 years is being transformed into a condominium.
Cedarvale Terrace, a long-term care home located on Walmer Road near Spadina/Cenclair, is being redeveloped by Stafford Homes, which owns the nursing home site, ahead of its operating license expiring (June 2025). I submitted the application,” he said on the 29th.
If the city government approves, the current 6-story building will be turned into 19-story residential/commercial complex housing 87 households.
The Ontario Long-Term Care Department also confirmed that it is currently looking at condo conversion applications.
In this regard, the nursing home insisted that it notified the residents and their families of the condo conversion from last July.
However, residents and their families expressed their anger, saying that only an online public hearing was held, and that they received a unilateral notice with no details disclosed.
In response, Michael Shane, director of the nursing home, explained, “We are working to ensure that the 145 residents are transferred to the nursing home of their choice.”
Meanwhile, licenses for several Ontario nursing homes are set to expire in 2025, and most of them are said to be waiving their extensions.
In response, civic groups and opposition parties are concerned that the plan to expand beds in long-term nursing homes promised by the Ontario government is highly likely to return to empty checks.
