Musosomine – The cobblestone home in Musosomine officially opened its doors to residents on August 1st.
The building will be a long-term care and assisted living facility with 42 units. It is located next to Pipestone Villas on Wright Road in Moosomin.
Amber Hintz, the home manager at Cobblestone House, said that with six residents officially moving in, more are expected to come in the next few weeks.
“We can get people moving at any time. We hope to get full during the first trimester,” Hintz said.
“We started moving people in on August 1st. One person moved in, and then two more people moved in on August 2nd.
Then one moved here and there for the rest of the month. There will be a few more in the next couple of weeks.
“There are still some people who have booked rooms, but haven’t moved in yet. I think by the first week of September we should have 14 people.
The structure of the new facility consists of three levels, with each floor in the building dedicated to a specific service.
The first floor is for long-term care, the second floor is for assisted living, and the third floor is for independent living.
As of now, 15 employees at the facility work as emergency nurses and multi-service workers.
“We now have 15 people, but once that’s full, we’ll probably need five more,” Hintz said.
“We have two dedicated chefs who do most of the cooking in the main kitchen. Our multi-service workers cook breakfast and serve snacks as well.
Grand opening on September 27th
On Wednesday 27 September, people from the community are invited to attend the grand opening of Cobblestone House.
“The grand opening will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We’ll give some speeches and the opening ceremony will start at 11 a.m.,” Hintz said.
“The Mayor is coming. We’ll do laps and have a barbecue lunch in the parking lot.”
We have live music from 12pm to 1pm
“We just want to open the doors and let the public in.
“That’s why we thought we’d do a barbecue on Wednesdays, that way people could come for lunch and check out.”
