“Seaton Village” takes the spotlight in recent online poll

Whitby, Ontario – Durham Regional Council has approved the name of our new 200-bed long-term care home in Seaton (Pickering): Seaton Village. A facility that will be designed to cater to the diverse needs of our residents, while ensuring personalized care respects everyone’s dignity and independence.

Where: The Region of Durham is building a new long-term care home in the City of Pickering, with support from the Province of Ontario. This 200-bed home will be in the Seaton community (between Brock Road and Whites Road in Pickering). Projected to open in fall 2026, Seaton Village will offer common spaces (a bank, store, hair salon, worship centre and fitness area); a main space for resident social interactions; and a dementia-friendly design.

What: After various community members outlined a series of potential names, residents were asked—via an online poll—to choose their favourite. Which one best captured the spirit of Seaton? It was “Seaton Village” that earned the highest number of votes.

Why: Durham Region is investing in a new long-term care home to help build complete communities. Community input is important to the future of our rapidly growing region and its expanding communities.
