The nursing station is the hub of the Unit, where nurses connect, coordinate care, and keep a close eye on patient needs throughout the day.
Visitors are always welcomed; however, we ask that they sign in at the nursing station upon arrival so that staff can help guide them and ensure a safe, comfortable environment for everyone on the unit.
Our large, accessible shower room gives patients the space they need for assisted bathing, with nurses on hand to provide support when required.
Our equipment room helps keep the Unit running smoothly by providing a dedicated space for safely storing devices until they’re needed.
The dedicated family room provides space for confidential conversations with the care team and serves as a welcoming spot for visitors when patients need a moment to rest.
Patient care rounds happen in this collaborative space behind the nursing station, with dedicated areas for physicians to document and for the pharmacist to focus on medication reviews.
The supply room is kept fully stocked, giving the care team quick access to the items they need to support patients throughout the day.
The medication room houses a secure dispensing system that helps ensure each patient receives their prescribed medications safely and on time.
Each patient room accommodates two patients with a privacy curtain between beds. Large windows fill the space with natural light, offering beautiful views of the surrounding neighbourhoods from the top floors of the hospital.
Each patient space includes a communication board where the care team tracks important details and updates. It’s also a place for physicians and families to leave notes for one another.
The posters outside each room offer quick, essential updates, including which Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is needed before entering to help keep everyone safe.
When a patient presses their call bell, the alert appears on the Call Bell System at the nursing station so staff can respond. There are times of day when the Unit is especially busy, such as during patient rounding or shift changes, when nurses are focused on reviewing care plans and getting to know their patients. During these periods, responses to general requests may take a little longer, but emergency calls are always prioritized.
