Convalescent Care
The Convalescent Care Program is primarily for older adults with a chronic illness who require more time to recover before returning home following a period of hospitalization.
The publicly subsidized activation program is part of our short-term long term care services.
Following an acute illness, you may have lost much of your former mobility and functional independence. Our staff will assist you to regain your strength and mobility so you can safely carry out your daily living activities when you return home.
The average length of stay is seven weeks.
