Admission to Assisted Living Suites

Overview

These suites are available to residents of Elim Lodge and all other seniors who want or need access to the services being provided. Residents must still be capable of independent living, but want or need help with regular household chores such as housekeeping and linen/towel laundry, and appreciate the convenience and fellowship opportunity of receiving their meals in the dining room. Prospective residents are encouraged to have their names added to the short waiting list if they see the need approaching. Residents will be selected from this list on a first-apply, first-called basis. There is an application form to be completed.

Restrictions

As noted above, applicants must be capable of independent living with the help of the services we provide. Staff members are not qualified nor permitted to provide any nursing care or other personal care. These services are available through licensed providers such as Home Care, Saskatoon Home Support or LutherCare Home Help Services. Residents who have been assessed as requiring Personal Care services will not qualify for admission to Elim Lodge Assisted Living suites. For those who require such care, Elim Lodge Inc. operates a Personal Care facility at Hyde Park View. (306-373- 6333).

Elim Lodge is a non-smoking facility (even in your suite). No pets are allowed.
