Kemptville District Hospital has made the difficult decision to close its Interim Long-Term Care (ILTC)/Convalescent Care Programs (CCP) unit, targeting a closure date of June 30, 2026.

Kemptville District Hospital has made the difficult decision to close its Interim Long-Term Care (ILTC)/Convalescent Care Programs (CCP) unit, targeting a closure date of June 30, 2026.

KDH is committed to supporting current residents of the unit to find alternate placements in Long-Term Care (LTC) homes of their choice. The unit will continue to operate until all residents have found appropriate placements.

The 12-bed unit (4 ILTC and 8 CCP) was opened in 2006 to address a severe shortage of LTC beds in the community at that time. However, KDH’s mandate has always been acute care and since then, over 250 new LTC beds have been established locally, and convalescent care options have increased.

KDH is committed to adjusting its services to meet the changing health care needs of North Grenville’s rapidly growing population.

KDH staff, physicians, and volunteers were notified of the closure earlier today and a public Town Hall Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 14 at 7 pm. You can find the link to join the Teams meeting in the news release on KDH’s website.

Thanks to the generosity and dedication of our Auxiliary members, we're proud to announce this important purchase for our hospital. Every dollar raised through volunteer efforts and community support has made this possible. Together, we continue to enhance patient care and bring comfort to those who need it most.
We are deeply grateful for the commitment, creativity, and compassion that make achievements like this possible. 💙

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful KDH Auxiliary for purchasing four brand-new stretchers for the hospital! The Auxiliary donated over $35,000 to cover the cost of the adjustable stretchers, which ensure quick transport in critical situations and reduce the risk of injuries. We’re so grateful for our Auxiliary’s tremendous support!
