Continuing Care Strategy 

To help more people live independently at home for longer, the Government of Saskatchewan has developed a new Continuing Care Strategy.

A release from the province says the strategy will offer residents safe, high-quality options once community-based supports can no longer meet their needs.

The new Continuing Care Strategy was developed with the help of more than 1,500 citizens who were invited to virtual consultation sessions in August and September of 2025.

Included in the Strategy, new funding of $9.2 million will support a rural and remote dementia program, improved home care services; enhanced inspections, oversight, quality improvements and staffing for new beds in locations like Regina and La Ronge.

New recovery beds

Twelve new second-stage sober living spaces have been added in Swift Current.

An annual provincial investment of $607,000 was announced to be allocated to Poundmaker’s Lodge Sober Living Spaces in Swift Current.

A release from the Province says sober living spaces are for people who have completed initial treatment and are continuing their recovery journey. Treatment focuses on preventing relapse through counselling and connection to community and culture.

Poundmaker’s Lodge has over 50 years of experience in the field, providing addictions treatment and are recognized internationally for their approach to Indigenous culture and spirituality.

These spaces are part of the government’s commitment to add 500 addictions recovery spaces across the province.
