Continuing Care Centre

The Continuing Care Centre, a 42 bed program, is committed to compassion and excellence in the provision of complex care and rehabilitation services. We strive to meet the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of each person. We believe in treating each person with respect, dignity and compassion.

We offer two distinct and specialized inpatient programs: rehabilitation and complex care. If you are a candidate for our programs your health care team will make a referral to Co-Ordinated Access through the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC). CCAC will review your application, confirm eligibility and place your name on a list for admission, when a bed is available. You can choose to have inpatient services in various hospitals across the South West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), so please speak to CCAC about your options, choices and preferred location.

Rehabilitation

The Rehabilitation beds, located on D wing, provide support to individuals recovering from orthopedic surgery, stroke or similar conditions to transition to their highest level of physical independence.   Care is planned and delivered based on goals identified in collaboration with the multidisciplinary care team, patient and their family.

Complex Care

The Complex Care beds, located on D wing, provide supportive care for chronically ill patients whose care needs exceed that which may be offered within a Long-Term care setting. Our goal is to ensure that patients are encouraged to participate in their own care.  The focus of care is to support patients to regain their optimal level of physical functioning.

Palliative Care

Palliative Care is provided for patients who have a diagnosis of a progressive, ongoing life threatening illness.  Patient care consists of pain and symptom management and quality of life issues that may require family support, respite care, social support and /or spiritual support.

Transitional Care

Transitional Care beds provide a supportive care environment for patients who are medically stable and are awaiting discharge either to their home or to an alternate level of care.
