Central Haven Special Care Home is a small, close-knit community located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, with 60 residents and 50 caring staff members supported by dedicated volunteers.
The home operates as a faith-based organization, though all people requiring the level of care provided are welcome, regardless of cultural or faith traditions.
Central Haven was founded in 1976 as a personal care home, with its senior citizens' apartments opening in 1975. The organization adopted the Eden Alternative Philosophy of Care in 2006 and has been managed by Sherbrooke Community Centre since that time.
The facility operates with a focus on elder-directed care, emphasizing that the resident always comes first.
The home employs a gentle, persuasive approach to care, never forcing care and encouraging staff to identify and address unmet needs. Central Haven maintains regular resident and family councils to provide support, communication, education, and advocacy.
The organization is an affiliate member of the Saskatoon Health Region, with admissions processed through Client Patient Assessment Services.
