Nova Scotia’s Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care spoke about Roseway Manor in Shelburne last week.
Barbara Adams was asked after cabinet about a lack of communication from the municipal owners of the building on their decision to privatize the long-term care home.
A group of citizens expressed concerns about the transfer in ownership and residents potentially losing important services.
Adams says right now, it’s up to the municipalities to communicate.
“Once that process is moving forward, and the expression of interest is put out, then we will be putting out our own messaging,” says Adams.
The towns of Shelburne and Lockeport and the Municipality of Shelburne are asking the province to call for a Request for Proposals to build a new facility.
Adams says both for and not-for profit providers will be able to apply.
