Company Description
Jarlette Health Services is committed to excellence in care and innovation. Founded over 50 years ago by Alex and Roberta Jarlette, in Midland, Ontario, the organization's leadership includes the third generation of the Jarlette family. We continue to cultivate a standard of care for residents of long-term care and retirement communities across Ontario that is compassionate, resident-focused and family-oriented, in a warm and inviting setting. We aspire, each and every day, "to make an outstanding difference in the lives of others".
The new 160-bed home will be built on the existing site of Southampton Care Centre and
will feature design improvements, including larger resident common areas and air conditioning throughout the home. The design is centred around five ‘resident home areas’, each of which creates a more intimate and familiar living space with dining and activity areas, lounges and bedrooms for up to 32 residents. The redevelopment of Southampton Care Centre is expected to be completed and welcoming its first residents by spring 2026.
