In a special ground-breaking ceremony last Friday, St. Josephs Continuing Care Centre (SJCCC) announced that construction will commence next week on their new industry-leading rehabilitation centre. SJCCC encompasses St. Josephs Villa’s 150 long term care beds and Hôtel Dieu Hospital’s 58 inpatient beds for
rehabilitation. The goal of the rehabilitation program is building the strength and confidence needed to get home after surgery, illness, or an adverse event impacts a patient’s ability to live independently. In addition to things like mobility and balance, the rehabilitation program considers patients’ medication, diet, and where they will be discharged to when coming up with a treatment plan. To make sure patients thrive and not just survive after discharge, the team also
works with them on Activities of Daily Living (ADL) retraining, which includes things like grooming, dressing, bathing, and household activities. “St. Josephs Continuing Care Centre has had a dream. It’s a dream to build a therapeutic space to support our rehabilitation program which is held in our hospital,” said Executive Director, Gizanne Lafrance-Allaire. Continued on page 5
