Transitional Care

Transitional Care is provided in Transition Care Units (TCU)s.

A transitional care facility is a temporary place for patients that are waiting for placement into an alternate care setting.

Other medical care and rehabilitation is provided before going home, to a nursing home or to other more permanent placement. This includes Geriatric Rehab.

In the WRHA setting TCUs usually have a defined period of time for the resident's stay to determine most appropriate final discharge destination.

From WRHA info site:

When info is available at another site, we should link to it instead of copying it. (a) because copyright, and (b) because that way if they edit we get that edit as well, and if they remove the page (ie something changed) it will show up in our broken links report (see link below, it breaks discuss template).
