The locker room was full of optimism for the future of the organization on Sunday.
Long-term care homes in the Saskatoon area are tightening up family presence restrictions due to rising COVID-19 cases in the region.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority said long-term care homes will move from Recovery Phase to Level 1 on Thursday at 8 a.m. The SHA will monitor cases to see if the restrictions can be lifted soon.
Under Level 1, each resident can designate two essential family/support people, with only one person present at a time indoors. There isn’t a limit on visitors that can be present at a time outdoors.
For end-of-life or palliative care, more than two essential family/support people can be designated, but only two of those people can be present at the same time.
The restrictions apply to:
- Central Haven Special Care Home
- Circle Drive Special Care Home
- Cudworth Nursing Home
- Extendicare Preston
- Goodwill Manor — Duck Lake
- Lakeview Pioneer Lodge — Wakaw
- Langham Care Home
- Lutheran Sunset Home
- Oliver Lodge Special Care Home
- Parkridge Centre
- Porteous Lodge
- Rosthern Mennonite Nursing Home
- Sherbrooke Community Centre
- St. Ann’s Senior Citizens’ Village
- St. Joseph’s Home
- Sunnyside Adventist Care Centre
- Saskatoon Convalescent Home
- Samaritan Place
- Spruce Manor Special Care Home — Dalmeny
- Stensrud Lodge
- Warman Mennonite Special Care Home
“The decision to restrict family presence is not taken lightly,” the SHA said in its release. “These measures are only activated temporarily in order to keep residents, family members/support persons, and health-care workers safe at this time of elevated local COVID activity. Recovery family presence will resume as soon as possible.”
