With regard to the senior citizens' home in Fort Providence, on numerous occasions, I requested renovations to the cluster units; there are four of them. There are four single-bedroom units. Each two-bedroom unit has a kitchen, bathroom, but no common room area. I was told they want to keep that because of the level of acute care.
Given that we are pressed for dollars for renovations, I was wondering if it is realistic for the community of Fort Providence to have level II care at the senior citizens' home, without it costing this government a lot of dollars. I know that, previously, when seniors were too old to care for themselves, they were sent to Hay River.
I'm wondering if, with level II care, you need an extra professional do deal with those elders.
