The 27 patients that were moved from Leader to Swift Current on Tuesday have returned to the Western Senior Citizens Home.

The Cypress Health Region said the patients - 24 long term, three short term - could return to the facility Thursday morning after the efforts of SaskPower led to the restoration of power to the Town of Leader.

The residents were transported by buses and returned home to Leader between 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
