Child Day Care

South Parkland REDA is working with parents in Melville and surrounding district to bring about a new childcare facility in this community. We believe that a subsidized childcare facility at a not for profit facility is the best approach for this community.

Currently the City of Melville has two daycare facilities that are running at full capacity with no capability for expansion. Through consultation with parents of young children, we have identified a large number of people who could utilize this facility. We have identified children from infant right up to age thirteen who may need this facility on a full or part-time basis. 

For more information contact South Parkland REDA at 306-728-6855 or e-mail us at office1@spreda.sk.ca

Massage Therapy — Harmony Massage Therapy

Massage is a 500-year-old form of natural healing. Notice that if you injure yourself, the common reaction is to rub the affected area. 

Massage therapists focus on the main cause of muscular or skeletal pain and then seek to alleviate it. Most pain is the result of imbalances of joints, muscles, ligaments and/or injuries (acute to chronic) to these specific muscles. 

The meaning of massage therapy is manipulation of the soft tissues to reduce hyper-tonicity (muscle contraction) in muscle tissue. Your therapist will use massage techniques to restore your body’s natural balance, to create symmetry within your body. 

There are many benefits gained from massage therapy. Some of which include:

• Relief of stress
• Pain relief
• Sedation and stimulation of the nervous system
• Improved circulation and lymphatic fluid 
• Increased mobility in joints
• Muscle strengthening
• Restructure of skeletal misalignments. 

Office Hours: Monday – Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

‘Sole Works’ is located within the Melville Community Works and is operated by a RAC Certified Reflexologist.

Reflexology is a natural science used to promote the body’s own healing capabilities by boosting the immune system and circulation. 

It combines applying precise pressure and massage on ‘reflex’ or ‘pressure points’ distributed throughout the foot that corresponds to the rest of the body. Vital energy or Life Force that flow within you can be blocked causing pain and disease. 

Reflexology is used to unblock energy flow. When energy is blocked, organs and glands can malfunction or pain can occur. Through intense stimulation of the Circulatory and Lymphatic Systems and the Endocrine System and by encouraging the release of toxins, reflexology promotes the body to heal itself.

History: 

In 1913 the Ohio Synod erected Lutheran Academy in Melville, Saskatchewan. In 1926 the Academy was relocated in Regina. At this time the need for a facility to house children and aged was met with the establishment of St. Paul Lutheran Old Folk’s and Children’s Home in the former Academy. In 1962 the Board of Directors of St. Paul Lutheran Home, after consultation with the Church at large and the government of the day, decided to build a new facility. The first stage of the one-story building was built in a square with a courtyard in the center, a chapel, lounge, dining area and kitchen on the west end of the facility. The second stage was built in 1968 and completed the figure 8-shape. An extensive addition and renovation was completed in 1987 providing 30 additional suites, an enhanced activity and lounge area, library and administration offices.

St. Paul Lutheran Home is located at 100 Heritage Drive just off highway 10 on the west side of Melville. St. Paul Lutheran Home’s services are guided by the Christian Faith of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada; it is affiliated with the Sunrise Health Region and in partnership with St. Peter’s Hospital provides our community and the Region with high quality Supportive Care Services. 

St. Paul Lutheran Home has 143 long term care suites including a 
26-suite neighbourhood designed to assist residents with cognitive impairment, one respite suite and an Adult Day Care Program. 

The St. Paul Lutheran Home Foundation was incorporated in 1998. The purpose of the Foundation is to raise, receive and manage donations for the well being of the residents of St. Paul Lutheran Home. Since incorporation, some of the items purchased by the Foundation include: Chapel doors, etched glass windows for the Chapel, tandem bicycle, furnishings for residents’ rooms and common areas, window coverings for the dining room, exercise parachute and patient lifts.

Volunteers:

Our volunteers give freely of their time and energy to help enrich the lives of our residents. They bring with them a variety of experiences, knowledge and skills. Their contributions increase the opportunities available to the residents and enhance overall programming. Volunteers of all ages are welcome at St Paul Lutheran Home. 

Our Neighbourhoods: 

• Academy Road formerly Extension 17). 
  This name was chosen because Extension 17 is connected with the Melville Heritage Museum which was formerly the Luther Academy. When Luther Academy was moved to Regina in 1926, the “old house” became the first official St. Paul Lutheran Home. The roots of our home began in this place.
     
• Bethany Way (formerly Extension 14). 
  In order to create a strong identity with our Christian heritage and embrace the fact that we are a Christian facility we chose this name for one of our extension. The Bible was our inspiration. Jesus stayed here with the apostles during his final ministry in Jerusalem (Mark 11). Bethany was also the home of Mary and Martha (John 11). 
     
• Railway Crossing (formerly Extension 16). 
  The CN has been an integral part of the history of Melville and the lives of many of our residents and staff. Because Extension 16 is connected to so many parts of the building and is one of the crossings to St. Peter’s, we felt this was a good choice.
     
• Whittmire Lane (formerly Extension 15). 
  Don Whittmire was a long-time administrator at St. Paul Lutheran Home (1980 – 1999). During Don’s tenure as administrator an extensive addition and renovation took place. Whittmire Lane represents all the past and present staff that contributes so much to the caring atmosphere here at St. Paul
