New Health Centre

Trillium HealthWorks goes beyond our hospital walls to include partnership projects that will increase access to important community-based services.

In partnership with Infrastructure Ontario and Partners Community Health, Trillium Health Partners is leading the build of a new health centre on Speakman Drive in Mississauga that will function as an interconnected community for seniors and caregivers, providing a broad range of services and programs that meet the needs of those it serves.

Long-Term Care Homes (Wellbrook Place)

The first phase of the new health centre includes Wellbrook Place, two long-term care homes with a combined 632 beds that will address the current lack of access to long-term care in this community and create capacity in hospitals where many patients wait for long-term care placement. The total square footage of Wellbrook Place will be 488,000.

Wellbrook Place will be operated by Partners Community Health – a new, not-for-profit organization focused on bringing health care services together around the needs of people living in Mississauga and West Toronto.

Features of Wellbrook Place:

• The latest standards for long-term care home design and safety, including: private bedrooms; appropriately-sized lounge and dining areas; outdoor terraces and spaces; and, enhancements to HVAC including capability for 100% fresh air supply
• Two behavioural support units specially-designed to safely care for people who live with advanced dementia A day program for older adults who require regular enrolment in activities and services focused on maintaining their independence in order to prevent or delay the need for hospital or long-term care
• A 16-unit dialysis program space for long-term care residents and members of the community living with chronic kidney disease

Wellbrook Place is part of the Ontario Government’s Accelerated Build Pilot Program, which aims to deliver new long-term care homes years sooner than traditional development projects through the use of hospital-owned land, rapid procurement and modular construction.

Upcoming Milestones:

• August 2023: The waitlist for community members interested in applying for LTC residency opens and is managed by Home and Community Care Support Services Mississauga Halton (HCCSS).
• Fall 2023: PCH takes over the site from THP.
• Fall 2023: Grand opening event for Wellbrook Place.
• Fall 2023: Wellbrook Place begins operations, including first resident admission.

Future phases of the health centre include a residential hospice (built and operated by Heart House Hospice) and a health services building. For more information on Heart House Hospice please visit hearthousehospice.com.
