Transitional care

What is transitional care?

When acute care hospitalization is no longer necessary, but a patient is not physically able to function at home, our transitional care unit (TCU) is a positive intermediary step for rehabilitation. Transitional care is needed in these situations:

• Recovery from major surgery, joint replacement, vascular or abdominal procedures.
• Repeated hospitalization.
• Recovery after major accident or stroke.
• Pain management.
• Wound management for injuries which are not healing or need special care.
• Nutritional therapy including tube feeding.
• Chronic disease management for conditions such as Parkinson's disease.
• IV therapy.

Your rehabilitation team includes:

• Physical therapy.
• Occupational therapy.
• Speech therapy.
• Respiratory therapy.
• Activities and recreational therapy.
• Nutritional services.
• Social services.
