The newly-built Extendicare Limestone Ridge long-term care home was officially opened Wednesday.
The facility formerly known as Extendicare Kingston features 150 redeveloped beds and 42 new beds.
“This opening is great news for residents of Kingston and is part of our plan to protect seniors and increase access to world-class care across our province,” said John Jordan, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Long-Term Care. “The opening of Extendicare Limestone Ridge marks an important milestone for the people of Kingston and the future residents who now have a new place to call home.”
The home is designed with six self-contained ‘resident home areas’ (RHAs), each of which creates a more intimate and familiar living space for up to 32 residents. Each RHA has resident rooms, a dining area, activity space and a spa room. The home also provides enhanced programming, including restorative and palliative care, as well as a café/country kitchen, space for family dining, a chapel, and a beauty salon and barber shop.
The 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, outlined in the 2025 Ontario budget.
As of June 2025, 147 projects representing a total of 23,977 new and redeveloped beds are completed, under construction, or have ministry approval to construct.
“The opening of Extendicare Limestone Ridge marks a meaningful step forward for our community. This new long-term care home reflects our shared commitment to providing Kingston’s seniors with the dignity, comfort, and quality care they deserve. I’m grateful for investments like this—ones that will make a lasting difference in the lives of so many for years to come.”
– Bryan Paterson
Mayor of Kingston
“The opening of Extendicare Limestone Ridge marks another important step forward in our plans to redevelop all of our older homes in Ontario, improving both quality of care and access to care for seniors and their families. This new home reflects what modernized long-term care should be—welcoming, comfortable spaces, where residents feel at home. We are grateful to the Government of Ontario and the City of Kingston for their support of this project and the expanded capacity it delivers to the system to better meet the needs of seniors in the region.”
