The provincial government and local health-care partners marked the official opening of Rosecrest The Meadows, a new long-term care home in Lower Sackville, on July 16, 2026.
What opened and where
The facility, pictured in images released by the Government of Nova Scotia, is a newly completed long-term care home serving residents in and around the Halifax Regional Municipality. The opening was announced publicly on July 16, 2026.
Why this matters locally
Long-term care homes provide 24-hour nursing, personal care and supports to people who can no longer live safely at home. The addition of Rosecrest The Meadows increases the number of dedicated beds and local options for families seeking long-term residential care in the Sackville area. For residents, families and staff, a new facility can mean updated design standards, accessibility features and potentially shorter travel times for local visitors.

Practical considerations for families and community
Families seeking information about moving a loved one into long-term care should consult Nova Scotia’s official health resources and the home directly for details on admissions, wait lists, visiting hours and care programs. New homes also mean employment opportunities for health-care workers, including nursing and support staff, and may affect local home-care demand as some residents transition into institutional care.
