Due to staffing, Holmes House is pushing back their reopening date.
Originally the facility was set to reopen on February 7th, but it has been pushed back 10 days to February 17th.
The temporary closure was triggered due to several COVID-19 cases at the facility.
This means that Holmes House will not be able to see clients for its withdrawal management services during this temporary closure.
While in-house supports are not available, alternative services are available, below is a list sent to us.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911. If you are experiencing a
mental health crisis, please call 1-866-487-2278 to reach our community’s Crisis
