Overview

Strategic Prairie Regional Alliance (SPRA) (a Joint Venture between P3A and aodbt architecture + interior design) was engaged to design a long-term care facility for the needs of northern Saskatchewan residents.

The project began with an extensive programming process which included visioning, project parameter development, and site analysis and options review. Community members, Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) representatives, Elders, and Knowledge Keepers were guided through a LEAN 3-P process examining how the seven flows of medicine could be accommodated within a facility imbued with Indigenous culture.

Designed with the community in mind, the facility includes 80 resident rooms, kitchen and living areas, tub rooms, family rooms, a traditional healing space, a serenity room, and a commercial kitchen. This project also included renovations to the existing long-term care home to provide dedicated spaces and program areas for expanded therapies, adult day programming, and dialysis treatment.
