Our new facilities

Once the University Centre redevelopment is complete, patients and their families will have a state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility to support their recovery and return to their communities. These are some of the highlights of the new facilities:

o   Many outpatient services and clinics will be located on the 1^st floor of the new South Wing, providing easy access for patients and family members.

o   On the 2^nd floor, there will be a shared therapy space to house specialized therapy equipment for both inpatient and outpatient therapy.

o   A therapeutic pool

o   A roof-top garden

o   An auditorium for public, student and continuing professional education

o   Inpatient accommodation comprises mostly private rooms, but four-bed rooms are also designed with privacy in mind.

o   Spacious, accessible patient rooms and washroom. Each patient room has hand washing facilities.

o   On-unit therapy space will allow therapists to work more closely with patients and enable nursing and therapy professionals to work more collaboratively.

o   Each inpatient floor has a comfortable lounge for patients and visitors and a well-appointed dining room which doubles as an activity room.

 

The completion of the renovated Low Tolerance Long Duration Unit in fall 2010 was a milestone for Bickle Centre’s renovations. Notable improvements include:

·         A better overall living environment for patients - wording

·         Improved accessibility in patient washrooms

·         New storage closets, beside tables and family chairs

·         New flooring

·         New furniture in patient and family lounge areas

·         A new large screen TV

·         Three new on-unit therapy rooms

 

Our goal is to complete the project; working with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care on funding.

 

The Lyndhurst Centre redevelopment was completed in summer 2010. The renovation highlights are:

·     Revitalized therapy and exercise facilities outfitted with 60 new pieces of equipment, including a new body weight support treadmill, a treadmill that accommodates wheelchairs and ceiling lifts. This significant upgrade was made possible by a generous $1-million donation from the Ploder Family

 

·         Improved research space

·         A new, more functional main entrance and drop-off area

·         An outdoor therapeutic recreation horticultural garden

·         Outpatient area

 

A major component of the University Centre redevelopment project is the creation of one of the world’s most advanced rehabilitation research facilities. Visit the new research facilities web page for further details.
