Complex Medical Rehabilitation

The Complex Medical Rehabilitation program, incorporates both complex continuing and neurological/general rehabilitation on one integrated 35-bed patient care unit. The program utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to providing care which involves the patient and their family, the physician and primary nurse, along with the expertise of the chaplain, dietitian, discharge planner, pharmacist, social worker, speech language pathologist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist and recreation therapist as required.

Patients and families are involved in establishing the care plan through individual goal setting with team members. Patients are encouraged to take an active part in their daily care and rehabilitation, and to be up, dressed and participating in activities that promote their recovery. The special needs of our patients are well supported by an active volunteer program.

Neurological and General Rehabilitation

Our 15-bed unit offers active rehabilitation to patients recovering from a neurological condition (e.g., stroke) or a serious medical or complicated surgical event. Our goal is to promote the best possible functional independence of our patients. The average length of stay is 27 days depending on established goals and the nature of the underlying condition. On discharge 85% of our patients successfully return home.

Complex Continuing Care

Our 20-bed unit provides nursing care for patients who require 24-hour nursing care but no longer require constant monitoring and treatment. The multidisciplinary team assists patients in achieving their best possible function and supports patients and their families in identifying the most appropriate discharge destination (e.g., nursing home, discharge home with assistance, etc.). The average length of stay for patients whose needs can be supported in the community is 40 days.
