Day Hospital
The Day Hospital provides a short-term rehabilitation program to help older adults reach and maintain a level of physical, mental, emotional and functional health. The goal is to maximize independence, safety, self-esteem, and life satisfaction.
What the Day Hospital Program provides
- The program is made to address your needs. It is intended to improve or maintain ability to function in the community.
- Care is provided by a number of different health professionals. Based on your needs, you may receive rehabilitation with the physiotherapist or occupational therapist; medical and nursing care; social services (such as social work and/or spiritual care); health education; and recreation activities.
What can you expect
- You will see and speak with a number of health care professionals when we first meet with you. This is our way of getting to know you.
- In some situations, all that is required is for us to meet once or twice to address your concerns. In most situations, a program is planned by the team and discussed with you and your family/care partners. We will also keep in touch with your primary care/family doctor as needed.
What your day will be like
People attend Day Hospital Monday to Friday, once or twice a week. The program begins at 9:30am with exercises and ends at 2:30pm. Lunch and refreshments will be provided during the day at no cost.
