Seven people with intellectual disabilities will be able to live more independently and enjoy an enhanced level and range of services with the official opening today of the new North View Home in Prince Albert.
"This project demonstrates once again the province's commitment to building independence and to achieving the full participation and inclusion of people with disabilities," Community Resources Minister and Minister Responsible for Disability Issues Kevin Yates said. "We will continue to work to provide all Saskatchewan people with the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from the economic, social and cultural life of the province to the extent that they are able, and ensure that no one is left behind."
The new, seven-space home will provide 24-hour residential supports for the people who live there, and will also serve as the base of operations for a crisis support program in Prince Albert. The crisis support program will offer preventative education and outreach services to community-based organizations across Saskatchewan that support people with intellectual disabilities living in their own homes. The new home will also provide a temporary place to stay for people with intellectual disabilities when enhancements are occurring to the supports within their homes.
"This new home replaces an aging building that no longer meets the needs of those served in the North View program," Yates said. "In addition, space and design improvements will mean enhanced working conditions for the staff at North View Home."
Construction is nearly complete and the occupants will move into the new North View Home in early September. The North View Home program is an initiative of the Community Living Division of Community Resources aimed at providing quality residential care for people with intellectual disabilities.
Since the release of the Disability Action Plan in 2001, the province has invested more than $49 million to support the participation and inclusion of people with disabilities. Key investments have been made in transportation, employment, education, income support, housing, and cognitive disability supports.
