The riding of Bruce Grey Owen Sound is getting a share of new provincial funding for long term care homes.
The province has allocated more than 283 thousand dollars that will be divided among fourteen long term care homes in the riding.
Lee Manor in Owen Sound will get the biggest share at 47 thousand dollars.
Gateway Haven, Rockwood Terrace and Summit Place will each receive over 30 thousand dollars.
The funding will increase direct daily paid care per resident by 3.26 hours.
Local Conservative MPP Bill Murdoch says the funding will increase care in our nursing homes and also provide more jobs in the area.
The announcement is part of a provincewide package of 23.3 million dollars to hire 25 hundred personal support workers and two thousand nurses across Ontario by 2011.
