Active Care Unit
Individuals admitted to our 14 bed active Care Unit receive 24 hour nursing professional care and treatment for medical problems. It has private, semi-private and ward rooms available. A coordinated multidisciplinary care team, which includes the patient and family, develops and implements an individual plan of care.

Diagnostic tests are performed on site and arrangements are made for additional tests to be done at other hospitals. We encourage family to accompany their loved ones to tests outside of hospital.

The physician, discharge planner, pharmacist, nursing staff and physiotherapist, develop a goal-oriented plan of care with the objective to have you return home as soon as possible. Close linkages between St. Francis Memorial Hospital and other community services further facilitate this process.

Palliative Care is provided for individuals and their families who chose to make their final journey in the hospital setting. Every effort is made to make this time a more comfortable and supportive one as possible.

The families and the Hospital Care Team have been recognized in the past by the Eye Bank of Canada for our participation in the eye donation program.
