CARES values alive at Jubilee Home
This past June, in partnership with First Nations and Métis Health (FNMH), Jubilee Home — a long-term care home in Lloydminster — organized several events to promote belonging, diversity and inclusion.
The events included a presentation by Xavier Fisher, FNMH Specialist, who spoke to staff about the cultural significance of hair in Indigenous communities. Staff participated in discussions about delivering culturally sensitive, patient-centred care and respecting cultural beliefs.
A Powwow and Pipe Ceremony brought together SHA staff, residents, and members of the Onion Lake First Nation community. Residents from Cut Knife Long-Term Care and their families also travelled to Lloydminster to join the cultural celebration.
“We wanted to create something meaningful — a space for our residents to connect, celebrate, and be informed together.” said Jubilee Home Manager, Isee Vendiola-Cabanilla.
“It was not just a celebration—it was a milestone. One that reflects the heart of our community and its evolving connection with the wider society,” said Leonard Wegner, Director of Jubilee Home.
These events enhance cultural awareness and are an example of living out the SHA CARES values of compassion, respect, and equity in delivering high quality care for all.
