Rooms will begin reopening next month at Valley Hospice in Kentville, N.S., following a recent flood at the site.
Health Minister Leo Glavine said Thursday that remediation work at the hospice is ongoing and five of the 10 rooms were not damaged.
Five rooms will reopen in March, with the other five slated to be available again in early April.
At the time of the flood in December, Nova Scotia Health said six residents at the hospice were taken safely to the neighbouring Valley Regional Hospital where they would receive care until the hospice reopens.
