The County of Prince Edward announced that Kyle Cotton will serve as the next administrator for H.J. McFarland Memorial Home.
Mr. Cotton brings to the role more than 15 years of experience in long-term care management, having worked in a variety of not-for-profit and private long-term care homes. Mr. Cotton, who holds a master’s certificate in health-care administration, is a strong leader, a willing partner, and a collaborative problem-solver.
“I am pleased to welcome Kyle to the County. His experience and skills will serve the County and H.J. McFarland Memorial Home well,” says Steve Ferguson, Mayor, County of Prince Edward. “We are also excited that Kyle has direct experience leading a long-term care home through a new build, which will be especially helpful given the ambitious work we have in front of us to realize our own expansion project.”
H.J. McFarland Memorial Home is an 84-bed supported living facility for seniors operated by the County of Prince Edward. Home staff are committed to providing compassionate, resident-centred care that respects the dignity of the residents.
The County plans to redevelop H.J. McFarland Memorial Home with 76 additional beds, which the provincial government announced in 2019. The new home will be built on four acres of County-owned land adjacent to the existing long-term care home.
Mr. Cotton will assume his new role with the County on Monday, February 23, succeeding Acting Administrator Natasha Williams, who will return to her position as the Director of Care at H.J. McFarland Memorial Home.
