Releasing Time to Care has been a very successful initiative in hospitals throughout Saskatchewan, including Swift Current's Cypress Regional Hospital, and now it may be expanded to long-term care centres.

 

Providence Place in Moose Jaw is one of three nursing homes in the world testing the program.

 

Kyla Avis is Program Director for the Saskatchewan Health Quality Council.

 

 

Avis says they are attempting to see if the program can also help out in long term care homes, just like it does in hospitals.

 

 

Releasing Time to Care was started at Cypress Regional Hospital's Medical/Surgical Ward last year.
