Welcome to the Perley Health Convalescent Care Programs

The Convalescent Care Program (CCP) is a short-term residency to assist with your recovery from a recent fracture(s) or/and surgery. Most people come to recover and work towards their functional goals, then are transferred to a Community Rehabilitation Program or to home.

• The Convalescent Care Program (CCP) is comprised of an interdisciplinary team. Our goal is to guide and support you through your recovery journey.
• Each participant will have a private room with a shared bathroom. You will eat all meals in the dining room and all medications will be administered by the nursing staff. You will be expected to participate in the physiotherapy sessions twice per day from Monday to Friday.
• If you are being followed by a specialist (Orthopedic/Cardiac), they will determine all status changes and provide written orders with regards to your restrictions and rehabilitation or discharge to home readiness. Therefore, it is mandatory to attend all outpatient follow-up appointments as scheduled by the specialists involved with your care. You will be responsible for all fees associated with transportation if requiring use of Para Transpo or a private company transportation service. Guidance on transportation booking process can be provided by the CCP team.

What to Know Before You Arrive

• It is recommended to bring comfortable clothes, shoes, toiletries and your own incontinence products. The program does not do laundry for individuals but washing machines and dryers are available for use.
• There is a TV in each individuals room with cable service and internet available for a fee.
• Visitors are welcome to visit during the day and the early evening hours.
• The CCP uses an external pharmacy, so it is suggested to bring 24 hours worth of medications from the hospital to avoid any delay in receiving your medications. Over the counter medications are not covered by Ontario Drug Benefit Plan (ODB).

Convalescent care is not intended to serve individuals needing complex continuing care (such as Long-term care) or palliative care.

We look forward to your stay at the Perley Health Convalescent Care Program!
