NEW LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY FOR WEYBURN

Released on November 1, 2002

Weyburn residents are one step closer to seeing a new long-term care

facility built in their community.



Health Minister John Nilson was in Weyburn today to announce provincial

approval of the $21.2-million facility, to be known as Tatagwa View. The

provincial commitment is $14.4 million toward the final project cost; the

remaining $6.9 million will be raised by local residents.



"I am very pleased to be here today to bring this good news from our

government to the people of the Weyburn area," Nilson said. "We have

worked long and hard together to develop this project. It is an

outstanding example of the benefits of communities and government working

together to meet the needs of local residents."



Tatagwa View will replace the aging Souris Valley Extended Care Centre and

provide a more modern, home-like atmosphere for long-term care residents.



Saskatchewan Health has worked closely with the former South Central Health

District to plan the new facility. It will continue to collaborate with

Sun Country Health Region, which encompasses the former South Central,

South East and Moose Mountain health districts, to complete the project.



"Providing quality supportive services for the seniors of our province was

clearly outlined as a priority in our Action Plan for Saskatchewan Health

Care," Nilson said. "This new facility will improve the lives of long-term

care residents in Weyburn and area while at the same time providing an

improved workplace for our valued health providers."



The new facility will include 135 long-term care beds, 20 adult day care

spaces, regional health authority offices, and space for support services,

physiotherapy, long-term care administration, central dietary, regional

laundry and child day care.



"We are very pleased to move ahead with Tatagwa View," Sun Country Health

Region Chair Earl Kickley said. "This project is important to the

community as a whole and will meet the future needs of our pioneers as they

live in a home-like environment which enhances their quality of life."
