“The opening of this new group home represents another step forward in our government’s support of person-centred community living.”

On top of providing annual funding, the Saskatchewan government gave $50,000 to set up and furnish LutherCare Communities’ new group home.

Government officials said Lutheran Sunset Home supports the Saskatchewan Disability Strategy, which aims to make the province a better place to live for people with disabilities.
