The County of Simcoe Council has approved a plan to grow the Simcoe Village Campus in Beeton, Ontario, to provide more care and housing for local seniors. On February 24, 2026, officials agreed to design changes that will allow the facility to serve more people as part of an ongoing redevelopment project.
The updates include moving the memory care area to the co-housing building, known as Simcoe Lodge. This move will increase the number of spots for residents needing memory care from six to nine, while also adding five new suites to the Simcoe Residences Retirement Home.
Construction for this part of the project, which includes new townhomes and garden homes, is set to start in the spring of 2026 and finish by the middle of 2027. The first phase of the campus redevelopment is expected to be finished in early 2027.
According to the County of Simcoe, this project is one of the most significant investments in senior living in the region’s history. The project first received council approval in June 2020, and officials held a ground-breaking ceremony in May 2022 to address the local shortage of long-term care placements.
