Progress on a new long-term care facility for residents of Prince Albert Parkland Health Region reached a milestone today, marked by a sod turning ceremony on the grounds of Prince Albert's Regional Health Centre.
Site preparation is now under way on the construction site, adjacent to Victoria Hospital and the Herb Bassett Home long-term care facility. Construction of the new $22.7 million facility that will replace Pineview Terrace Lodge should be complete by late 2013.
"The Saskatchewan government is proud to cover 80 per cent of the cost for this new facility, which will be a safe, comfortable, home-like environment for seniors and others who need a high level of care," Health Minister Don McMorris said. "This is one of 13 projects where we are putting patients first by replacing aging long-term care facilities in the province."
Local municipalities will pay the remaining 20 per cent of project costs; a fundraising campaign will cover the estimated $400,000 cost of furniture and new equipment.
"This project will allow us to serve an extra 26 long-term care residents, with a total of 60 beds, reducing wait lists and helping us meet the increased demand for care," Prince Albert Parkland Regional Health Authority Chairperson Gord Dobrowolsky said. "This new facility will also ensure that our employees, physicians and volunteers have the best possible environment for providing quality, safe and compassionate care for the people we serve."
"We all need to do our part to work together to provide the quality of life that our residents deserve," Prince Albert Mayor Jim Scarrow said. "I am pleased to represent City Council and the taxpayers of Prince Albert at the sod turning of the newest health care facility that will contribute to improved quality of care for the elderly in this region."
Residents will live in five interconnected "houses" each with 12 private bedrooms and common areas. The new location is closer to community health and medical services in Victoria Hospital.
