Residents who were recently displaced from Regency Manor in Central Butte, Sask. have now all returned to the long-term care home as of the end of last week, confirmed the Saskatchewan Health Authority.
Regency Manor and the attached New Horizons Health Clinic closed on March 2, after unexpected flooding in the basement caused serious damage to the building’s electrical and mechanical systems.
All 25 residents living in the facility were moved into temporary home placements in Moose Jaw, Herbert or with family, but have since returned to their regular facility in the community.
“The SHA is pleased to report that all Manor residents were safely moved back to their homes between April 20-23,” said Krista Barnett, SHA’s director of primary heath for the southwest region, in an email with the Moose Jaw Express.
The health clinic has also resumed operations in its location within the building, after moving temporarily to operate from within Iver Main Place private care home’s building through the month of April.
“The SHA would like to express its gratitude to the clients, families and staff for their assistance and patience as we worked through this challenging situation,” said Barnett.
Central Butte, Sask. is located approximately 100 kilometres northwest of Moose Jaw.
