SASKATOON The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has opened a new adult mental health short stay unit at the Royal University Hospital (RUH) in Saskatoon. “This new space will be conducive to adult short stay mental health treatment and recovery, and a complement to our longer-stay adult inpatient unit at Dube Centre as well as our other mental health services around the province,” SHA’s CEO Scott Livingstone said in a news release. According to the SHA, the new permanent seven-bed unit was designed for patients 18 to 64 years old who are medically stable and have a predicted length of stay of less than seven days. The unit is staffed by two nurses providing around the clock support as well as two Continuing Care Aides providing support 16 hours a day and security services. Dedicated Psychiatry is on-site five days a week, with evenings and weekends covered by the on-call psychiatrist, the SHA said.
