REGINA, Sask. — The province is highlighting progress at the Regina Specialized Long-Term Care Home in its latest construction update.
Provincial officials, including Minister for Seniors and Rural and Remote Health Lori Carr and Minister for SaskBuilds Sean Wilson, were on hand at the construction site in south Regina to mark the facility’s 30 per cent completion milestone.
According to the province, construction is progressing in phases, with two wings completed up to the sixth floor. Framing and concrete slab pouring are currently underway in the remaining two wings. The province also reports that the south parking lot is complete.
Graham Construction Ltd. is the contractor, and the company reports that 85 per cent of the structure itself is complete, with the focus now shifting to the building's interior.
Minister Carr pointed to this project as a key to delivering on the Patients First Health Care Plan to “ensure all Saskatchewan residents receive the right care at the right place and as close to home as possible.”
“Our goal is simple: help Saskatchewan people live at home for as long as possible. That's why we invest more than $235 million annually in home care services for the residents of this great province. And, if additional care is needed, we will ensure access to safe, comfortable, high-quality care. That's exactly what we're building here today.”
Carr also pointed to other projects, including an 80-bed facility in La Ronge, which is on track for completion in 2027, and a 33-bed facility in Grenfell, which reached its 50 per cent milestone this month.
“While the NDP's big, bold plan focuses on restructuring the system, we're focusing on the capacity Saskatchewan people actually need,” Carr said.
“People can't receive care from an org chart. They need beds, rooms, facilities and the professionals who provide care. This facility delivers on all of that.”
Construction is expected to be completed by late summer or fall 2028. When the entire facility is completed, it will feature 240 specialized long-term care beds, which the province says will support residents with dementia, complex behavioural needs and other conditions needing specialized care. Minister Carr said it will create 460 full-time positions.
In addition to the Regina project, the latest construction update also pointed to the completion of the new Weyburn General Hospital. It held its grand opening event Oct. 23 and will start accepting patients on Nov. 1, 2026.
