Mothers Day is this Sunday and The Saskatchewan Health Authority has announced support for families who want to connect with their loved ones in Long Term Care Homes and Acute Care facilities.

Effective immediately, purchased floral arrangements and dry paper gifts such as cards, art, and books will be welcomed in long term care homes and acute care facilities in the province.

These items do not pose an infection risk. However, people must follow appropriate hand hygiene before, and after, handling delivered gifts.

Families are asked to contact Long Term Care managers or the facility unit to ask for information on where deliveries can be dropped off.
