OPEN DRUG USE, FECES AND BLOOD, MATTRESSES RENTED BY THE HOUR, SECURITY DOORS HELD SHUT WITH BUNGEE CORDS
SASKATOON – Seniors at King Edward Place are living in fear after the Sask. Party government opened their provincially-run seniors home to people who are homeless and struggling with addictions.
Drugs are dealt and used openly in common areas. People have been found passed out in stairwells. Security doors are held together by bungee cords. Feces have been smeared on walls. Bed bugs and cockroaches are rampant. One tenant is even renting mattresses out by the hour.
“The Sask. Party has abandoned these seniors and now they live every day in fear for their safety,” said Nathaniel Teed, Saskatchewan NDP MLA for Saskatoon Meewasin. “These are the people who built our province and now they can’t even live out their golden years in security and dignity.”
On August 20, 2024, MLA Teed raised these concerns with the Sask. Party Social Services Minister and invited him to tour the building and fix the situation. The Minister still has not acted, even after a follow-up letter on March 25, 2025.
“You can’t just throw people with addictions challenges into a seniors’ home and cross your fingers,” said Shadow Minister for Seniors Keith Jorgenson. “Seniors who have called this building home for years now feel like prisoners in their own homes.”
