It will offer therapy for various areas, including occupational, physical and speech, as well as intensive nursing services for adults recovering from debilitating illnesses or injuries, neurological diseases, strokes, brain or spinal cord injuries and other serious conditions.

The facility will almost double the LLU health system’s existing inpatient rehabilitation care capacity.

All of LLU Health’s existing inpatient rehabilitation units will be transitioned to the new facility once it is operational.

The facility’s development is expected to begin next year subject to regulatory approvals, with its opening due in 2027.

LLU Health Hospitals CEO Trevor Wright said: “Today marks an important milestone in our commitment to providing exceptional care and support to our community.
