New Mountain Lea Lodge Long-Term Care Home Opens in Bridgetown
The new Mountain Lea Lodge long-term care home, featuring 96 single rooms with private washrooms, celebrated its grand opening on November 5, 2026, in Bridgetown, Nova Scotia. It is the ninth facility to open under a provincial plan to build and improve 5,700 long-term care rooms by 2032.
A grand opening was held on November 5, 2026, for the new Mountain Lea Lodge long-term care home in Bridgetown, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia. Residents moved into the facility in late September.
The new home replaces the former Mountain Lea Lodge, which was located on Church Street. It features 96 resident rooms, all of which are single rooms equipped with private washrooms. Residents live in six smaller households within the home, each consisting of 16 residents. The facility also includes common rooms for activities, spaces for family privacy, a hair salon, a café, and rooms for specialized care.
Mountain Lea Lodge is operated by Mountains & Meadows Care Group, led by CEO Joyce d’Entremont. Barbara Adams serves as the Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care. Joyce Butler is among the residents of the new home.
This opening marks the ninth new or replacement long-term care home to open as part of the Government of Nova Scotia's plan to build and improve 5,700 long-term care rooms by 2032. With this addition, the total number of new and replacement rooms now open exceeds 1,400. Construction is underway on an additional 2,000 rooms expected to open over the next few years, and five more new and replacement homes totaling more than 500 rooms are expected to open by the end of March 2027.
Other new and replacement homes currently open under the provincial plan include Villa Acadienne, Kiknu Long-Term Care Home, Mahone Bay Nursing Home, Moody Hall, Opal Ridge Hall, Carefield Manor, Rosecrest The Meadows, and Adeline Hall.
