In Saskatchewan, there are special-care homes that provide care for people who cannot fully care for themselves and require long-term care. In this publication, the term "special-care home" refers to a nursing home or other facility designed and licensed to provide supervisory, personal or nursing care under the authority of the province's Regional Health Authorities (RHA’s). This publication is aimed at older adults who are considering a move to a special-care home, as well as interested family members.
