LDMH gets additional 1.68 million for each of next two years


Leamington District Memorial Hospital is getting even more help for their Assess/Restore program ongoing at the hospital.
The Erie St. Clair LHIN announced October 6 that, in addition to the funding support for the current fiscal year for the 10 Assess/Restore beds, the hospital will be receiving funding in the amount of $1,168,000 for each of the next two fiscal years to allow for continuation of the program.
The program is designed to provide additional therapies and support to allow patients to return home and avoid future readmissions to an acute care bed. By providing additional therapies and nursing support along with pharmacy support patients can avoid the designation alternative level of care (ALC) and prolong waits in the hospital for a long term care bed. The program has been instrumental in decreasing long-term care home wait lists in the Windsor-Essex area.
