Cypress House invites residents and families to open house

The folks at Cypress House opened their doors to residents of Swift Current last Friday

The event featured a barbecue lunch, live music, door prizes, and a silent auction. Consultant Bill Horbach says folks were very excited to come out, and reactions were positive.

"They come here and they say, wait, wait a minute, this building isn't like a care home," he said.  "This is an actual home for people."

Many sponsors came out in support of the event, including SaskTel, Supplement King Swift Current, and the Swift Current SPCA.

"Cypress House isn't a place where people want to go to live out the rest of their lives without having fun," Horbach said. "We want to live life to the fullest [because] every day is worth living." 

Horbach thanks the sponsors who have contributed to this event, especially with the silent auction and door prizes. "I know it's going to be a lot of happy people." 

Residents will be participating in many more activities throughout the coming months, including a sign-making class and a few bake sales once the holiday season rolls around.
