NEW WEYBURN LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY

Released on May 11, 2001

Residents in Weyburn are turning the sod today for a new, $19.7 million

long-term care facility, after getting the final go-ahead from the

provincial government.



The new facility will replace the current outdated Souris Valley Extended

Care Centre and offer long-term care services to residents from across the

district.



"We have worked very closely with the South Central Health District to

reach this agreement and I am very pleased to announce our commitment of

more than $13 million toward this new facility," Health Minister John

Nilson said. "Our government is committed to providing accessible, quality

health care services and to supporting the needs of our most vulnerable

residents."



Nilson was on hand at a sod-turning in Weyburn today that involved

community members and officials from the health district, city and rural

municipality.



The new facility, to be known as Tatagwa View, will include 135 long-term

care beds, respite services and other support services such as

physiotherapy.



"This is a very exciting day for everyone involved in this project," South

Central District Health Board Chair Ernest Elder said. "I look forward to

continuing to work together with our partners as we move into the

construction phase of this project and work to provide a new, home-like

environment for our long-term care residents."



The $19.7 million pricetag includes $17.5 million for construction and $2.2

million for furnishing and equipment.
