Department of Long-Term Care (LTC)

The Long-Term Care Unit provides care for elderly patients with chronic conditions and limited mobility. Patients are most often admitted to the unit from the internal medicine or orthopedic departments. Once their health improves, patients are discharged home or to nursing homes or long-term care facilities.

Department facilities

The ward has 46 beds. Patients are accommodated in double or triple rooms with standard amenities and Wi-Fi access. Some rooms and common areas are equipped with televisions.

Leisure and Rehabilitation Activities

The department has its own activity coordinators who help clients strengthen their cognitive functions—including memory, attention, thinking, and speech—through leisure activities, exercises, and games. The unit also has rehabilitation specialists who care for clients’ musculoskeletal systems and use occupational therapy techniques to help them maintain or develop gross and fine motor skills, walking, and self-sufficiency. 

Social Assistance

The department also works closely with a social worker who ensures the continuity of nursing and care services in the home.

Spiritual support

During their hospital stay, patients and their loved ones can also take advantage of the chaplaincy service, which offers support and a space for conversation regardless of religious affiliation or personal beliefs.

Satisfaction

The department’s work, the quality of the medical and nursing care provided, and the pleasant environment are highly regarded by patients and their loved ones.
