Saskatchewan Proclaims Approved Private Service Home Week

Released on February 18, 2014

Saskatchewan is pleased to celebrate the contribution of approved private service home providers during Approved Private Service Home Week from February 17-23.

Approved home providers care for and support residents with cognitive, mental health or physical disabilities and assist them to continue to reside in family home settings throughout the province.

“Approved home providers and their families share their homes and their lives with some of our province’s most vulnerable citizens,” Social Services Minister June Draude said.  “I am pleased to recognize their efforts to help make Saskatchewan the best place to live in Canada for people with disabilities.”

“Providing a caring home environment and a strong community connection is essential for those living in our mental health approved homes,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said.  “Our government is committed to patient- and family-centered care that supports our growth agenda goal of improving the quality of life for all Saskatchewan people.”

Saskatchewan Approved Private Homes, Inc. (SAPH) is a non-profit organization that offers information and support to approved private service home providers, and promotes approved home development in the province. 

“It is very appropriate that we are celebrating these homes during the week that begins with the Family Day holiday,” SAPH Executive Director Iris Miller Dennis said.  “Through their dedication and compassion, approved home providers create warm, family environments for people with disabilities.”
