On March 12, 2026, the Mon Sheong Foundation celebrated the grand opening of the Dr. Paul Woo Long-Term Care Centre in Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario. This new eight-storey facility adds 224 beds to the community, providing more options for families with elderly members who need specialized daily support.

Located at 168 Sandiford Drive, the building sits right next to the foundation’s existing care centre. While construction was completed in May 2025—nearly a year ahead of the original provincial schedule—and residents began moving in last October, the ceremony marked the facility’s official ceremonial launch.

The facility uses a modern design that divides residents into seven smaller living areas, with each section housing up to 32 people. This layout is intended to make the large building feel more like a home by giving each group its own dining room, lounge, and activity space.

During the opening ceremony, Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, Ontario’s Minister of Long-Term Care, spoke to congratulate the foundation on this new milestone. The project is part of a larger provincial effort to shorten waitlists and provide better care for the growing number of seniors in the local area.

The new beds are expected to provide significant relief to the local healthcare system by offering dedicated spaces for those who can no longer live independently. Families in the area now have access to these new resources designed to improve the quality of life for their loved ones.
