Rehabilitation

Complex Continuing Care

In patient services for patients who no longer require acute care, but who are unable to go home or receive care in a long term care centre, are available at the GWM site. Admission to these specialized care beds is based on an in-depth assessment of patient needs.

The Hospital is very proud to offer exemplary in-patient and out-patient specialized rehabilitation services. The program offers support to patients and their families for diagnoses such as stroke and other conditions which require these extensive programs. Components of the program include nursing, physiotherapy, activity programming, clinical nutrition, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology and day hospital.
