Please remember:

  • Self-monitor and do not visit if you have COVID-like symptoms
  • Respect a personal choice to wear a mask anytime and anywhere
  • Practice social distancing as much as possible
  • Family members and visitors are welcome 24 hours a day according to patient preference and patient care needs.
  • The number of family members or visitors is limited to one person overnight.
  • All visitors who arrive at the hospital between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. must enter via the Emergency Entrance or Main South Entrance only; all other perimeter doors will be locked.

The Patient Experience

The Reactivation Care Centre is a collaborative and innovative approach designed to help patients who no longer need acute care services, but often find themselves waiting for an alternate care facility, such as convalescent and long-term care.

A significant investment has been made at the Reactivation Care Centre to refresh and replace equipment so that patients and their families have access to the specialized care they need in a restorative setting.

We are excited to offer this opportunity to many of our patients and their families and believe the benefits will allow patients to resume more normal routines and restore their independence.

It’s all about delivering patient care in the most appropriate setting where patient privacy, dignity and safety are a top priority.
