St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital has a “home first” philosophy and our commitment will be to support you in achieving your goals.

We will identify any barriers to discharge and work with you and your family to address these whether your goal is to return to your previous living environment or a new environment such as a retirement home, long-term care home or assisted living.

We will work with you and your family (with your consent) to help plan a safe discharge to a location that meets your needs.
