Inpatient Short-term Care
Planning your stay in Short term Care
The mission and philosophy of the Inpatient Care Short Term Care (STC) is to provide the highest level of care using a multidisciplinary approach. A short-term care admission is the hospitalization of an individual for evaluation and/or treatment, for a period of days, up to several weeks (typically not more than 45 days), depending on clinical criteria. Presently, we have ten Short Term Care beds which will increase to fifteen beds in the near future.
We work closely with Turtle bay elders lodge and homecare to discharge patients safely back to their home environment.
Our multidisciplinary team consists of: one physiotherapist, one occupational therapist, one social worker, nurses, PAB’s .
There are twenty-one permanent employees that work in Short Term Care; ten are Kahnawake:ro;non. Short Term Care staffing include; one Manager, eight Registered Nurses, five PABs, two Ward Clerks, one Social Worker, one Volunteer Coordinator, and Occupational Therapist. We are presently still looking to fill out full-time physiotherapist position.
