If there's music playing in Sherbrooke, there's a good chance you'll see Doris Friesen there!

Her Story

×

Music is a vital part of our Sherbrooke community. We are fortunate to have a Music Therapist and plenty of staff who play live music throughout the building. When you attend a concert at Sherbrooke, you will most likely see Doris Friesen in the front row. Doris loves music and knows the words to so many songs. She brings warmth and kindness to our community and loves going on excursions in the community. Be sure to say hi to Doris the next time you see her enjoying a concert with Wes or Mark or Lois.

Welcome to Sherbrooke Community Centre

Saskatoon’s Sherbrooke Community Centre is a long term care home. Our mission is to create a community that supports each person to live a full and abundant life. We are a registered Eden Alternative® Care Home that follows the Eden Alternative Philosophy of Care and are committed to fighting the three plagues of long term care: loneliness, helplessness and boredom. There are 263 residents, 100 Community Day Program participants, volunteers, families, students, pets, and over 500 staff at Sherbrooke.

We have three principles that guide all community members in the provisions of care and service for residents and community day program participants:

Individuality – Each person is embraced as an individual with unique abilities, characteristics, choices, needs and opportunities for growth.

Normalcy – What is normal for a person based on their unique life experiences, relationships, culture, and society.

Reality – Care, while based on individuality and normalcy, is practical, appropriate and delivered within available resources.
