In anticipation of the future rehabilitation needs of Ontarians, Toronto Rehab is transforming its facilities to create more appropriate space for specialized patient care, ground-breaking research and innovative education programs. To inquire about naming opportunities available at all facilities to recognize your gift, please call Toronto Rehab Foundation at 416-597-3040.
University Centre
Toronto Rehab's newly redeveloped University Centre is a modern hospital with facilities designed to care for adults undergoing rehabilitation for serious injury and illness including stroke, brain injury and multiple traumas and cancer. University Centre is home to the iDAPT Centre for Rehabilitation Research, one of the world’s most advanced facilities of its kind. iDAPT brings together the brightest research minds and state-of-the-art technology to improve the lives of individuals recovering from, and living with, disabling injury and illness and age-related conditions.
This unique patient care facility, designed for and build around the needs of our specialized patient population features meeting rooms, family spaces, dining rooms, therapy spaces, a large Auditorium, a pool, and other distinct spaces, many of which have been funded by generous donors. Additional opportunities for naming partnerships are available by contacting the Foundation.
Lyndhurst Centre
Toronto Rehab's Lyndhurst Centre, home to Canada's largest Spinal Cord Rehabilitation Program, opened new and expanded patient care facilities, improved research laboratories and a larger and more functional patient drop off area in 2007. This 18-month, $5.6 million renovation was supported by Toronto Rehab Foundation and has resulted in a facility that is more accessible and more conducive to the specialized patient care needs of patients.
In Fall 2009, a $1 million gift from donors George and Anne Ploder funded the remodelling of therapy and exercise facilities. The George and Anne Ploder Therapeutic and Rehabilitation Facilities are enhancing therapeutic possibilities through new therapy and skills training features and themed areas. Also, new state-of-the-art equipment is improving patients’ mobility, function and balance.
E.W. Bickle Centre for Complex Continuing Care
The first phase of a proposed two phase renovation of the E.W. Bickle Centre for Complex Continuing Care is currently underway. It will enhance patient safety and significantly improve patients' living environment. Donor support is needed to help complete these renovations. To learn more, please call Toronto Rehab Foundation at 416-597-3040 or donate online and designate your gift to Complex Continuing Care.
In April 2008, the former Queen Elizabeth Centre was officially renamed the E.W. Bickle Centre for Complex Continuing Care to recognize Judith R. (Billie) Wilder's $5 million gift to Everything Humanly Possible: The Campaign for Toronto Rehab. The new name is in honour of Mrs. Wilder's father who, along with his daughter, spent many years forwarding the needs of patients in complex continuing care.
Rumsey Centre
Overlooking a scenic wooded area and designed specifically for promoting heart healthy lifestyles, some of the features of Rumsey Centre's Cardiac Rehab facilities include:
- two 200-metre indoor/outdoor tracks for year round exercise
- a gymnasium for pre-class warm-up, stretching, and resistance-training classes
- three on-site state-of-the-art cardiopulmonary exercise assessment labs
- a 100-seat lecture theatre
- a Patient Resource Centre
Outpatient brain injury and stroke rehabilitation clinics in Toronto Rehab's
Neuro Rehab program are also located at Rumsey Centre.
Lakeside Long-Term Care Centre
In the spring of 2004, Toronto Rehab built Lakeside Long-Term Care Centre on the same grounds as the E.W. Bickle Centre for Complex Continuing Care. This new 124-bed centre is intended for people who are not able to live independently and who require 24-hour nursing care to be available to meet their health and personal care needs.
Hillcrest Centre
Hillcrest Centre will be closed and its Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Program relocated to University Centre upon completion of its redevelopment. There it will be upgraded to a tertiary level rehabilitation program and linked with neighbouring acute care hospitals for oncology and trauma rehabilitation.
