The Wiigwas Elder and Seniors home says it’s in dire need of replacing.
Administration of the long-term facility was one of the presenters at the town hall meeting for the Campus of Care Tuesday night.
A new building for Wiigwas is one of the new buildings being planned for the 115-acre property.
In the past year, one of the elevators has failed, there has been flooding, the heating system wasn’t working and six of hot water tanks had to be replaced.
There are currently 75 beds in the long term care home.
The new building on the site of the former Kenora Forest Products Mill was initially approved for 96 beds.
But that has been now increase to 160 beds.
Residents are expected to move into the new facility sometime in 2030.
