Long-term care facilities in the area are getting help, thanks to Rubicon Pharmacies. The donation to the Health Foundation of $10,000 will be used to support long term care facilities throughout the region.
Ross Fisher with the Health Foundation said that the money will be used in a variety of different ways, depending on what the facilities need. It could be things like pumps or lifts to help residents with limited mobility, or recreation services to improve quality of life.
鈥淭here鈥檚 a variety of things you can spend money on in long term care facilities, and it will vary from facility to facility, depending on what their needs are.鈥�
Some cases will see this donation combined with other funds if they facility needs something more expensive, while other needs will be covered completely by the Rubicon funds, said Fisher. They will consult with the different care homes to see what they need in order to distribute the funds.
Melody Kelts, Pharmacy Operations Specialist for Rubicon Pharmacies said that they believe in giving back to communities they service, and this donation was about giving back to their patients and the communities where they live.
This donation will be divided among long-term care facilities in Canora, Kamsack, Langenburg, Esterhazy and Ituna as well as the Yorkton and District Nursing Home.
