The North East LHIN is helping Mattawa Hospital with building infrastructure to provide more integrated care and improved coordination for residents living in the area. In Mattawa, Algonquin Nursing Home is redeveloping on the hospital’s property and will become adjacent to the hospital which will allow for a continuum of services between the two organizations says a news releae.
In addition, a residential hospice bed will be added to the site. Residential hospices provide medical, psycho-social, spiritual, bereavement, and other services to patients and their families in the final weeks of life.
