Convalescent Care

We offer Convalescent Care for people who no longer need to be in hospital, and yet are unable to return to their homes in the community. Convalescent Care is a short-stay (30 to 90 days) program designed to help patients recover their strength, endurance and functioning so that they can return home safely.

At KDH, Convalescent Care patients are taken care of by a multidisciplinary team that is made up of a physician, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, pharmacist, social worker, discharge planners and volunteers.

Upon admission, our Convalescent Care patients are assessed by both a physiotherapist and occupational therapist, who design an individualized rehabilitation program for each patient.

With regular physiotherapy and occupational therapy, daily recreational activities and assistance with the activities of daily living, our Convalescent Care patients find everything they need to get back home quickly.

Since our Convalescent Care program is located within our hospital, we also provide access to our X-ray and ultrasound department, lab and emergency department, as well as to medical specialists like orthopaedic surgeons.

"I had a total knee replacement at KDH. From admitting to discharge, my experience could not have been more positive. The kindness, care and service were exceptional and way beyond words. I have never experienced such excellent personal care and I have had many surgeries before this one. I am vegan and therefore do not consume any animal products whatsoever. The dietitian came to discuss my diet with me soon after my surgery and I was accommodated for the first time ever. I could not believe the level of personal attention. There is so much more that I could say about this hospital and its staff and all of it would be positive. A big thank you to all of the medical staff and volunteers."
