Virgil – The Ontario government is celebrating the opening of the redeveloped Radiant Care Pleasant Manor long-term care home that adds 160 modern long-term care beds to Niagara-on-the-Lake. This project is a recipient of the 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.
“Seniors across our province and in Niagara deserve to receive quality care with dignity and respect,” said Sam Oosterhoff, MPP for Niagara West.
“The addition of 160 modern beds at Pleasant Manor in Virgil will help ensure seniors across our region have a safe and modern space to call home in a culturally appropriate and faith-based context.”
“The opening of Radiant Care Pleasant Manor marks a major milestone in our government’s plan to protect residents and increase access to world-class health care across the province,” said Hon. Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, Minister of Long-Term Care.
“Now that construction is complete, 160 residents have a safe and modern place to call home.”
Radiant Care Pleasant Manor replaces the forty-one-bed Pleasant Manor Retirement Village, providing 119 new and forty-one upgraded beds. The new building is designed around five ‘resident home areas’ that create a more intimate and familiar living space for up to thirty-two residents with their own dining and activity areas, lounges and bedrooms. The new home welcomed its first residents in December 2025 and features a beauty parlour, chapel, spiritual and recreational programs, tuck shop and outdoor courtyards.
The long-term care home is part of a broader campus that will feature a Living Classroom in partnership with Niagara College, a daycare and supportive housing, featuring independent living and wellness suites so seniors can conveniently access the supports and housing options they need.
The new home will support over 200 good-paying jobs including full-time positions in nursing, personal support work, nutrition services, programming and administration. 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, including 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.
