There is a co-payment fee required for all patients in a complex continuing care or rehabilitation facility where their health care team determines that they cannot return home and will need to remain in hospital while awaiting placement at a suitable residence or long-term care home.
Co-payment represents the patient's contribution towards the non-medical costs of their care such as accommodation and meals; rates are set by the Ministry of Health. If you are required to pay co-payments while at Hennick Bridgepoint, you will be contacted by a representative from our Business Office who will provide you with more information. These are standard provincial rates set by the Ministry of Health.
We will make arrangements for transportation for appointments made by a Hennick Bridgepoint physician.

Your team can provide you with contact information for local transportation companies.
When you arrive at Hennick Bridgepoint, your care team will begin discussing your treatment plan and a discharge plan for you. How long you stay as a patient depends on your needs, and also the anticipated length of stay of your program. Your team will work with you during your stay to achieve goals that will allow you leave the hospital and continue your recovery in the community. Your social worker or other designated member of the care team will manage the discharge planning process and will discuss with you and your family any concerns or needs you may have. We will work with you and your family to ensure resources are in place to support a safe discharge into the community.
Discharge time is 9 a.m. Let your care team know if this time will not work for you.
In order to make your stay more comfortable, there are a number of shops & services available including a hair salon and coffee shop.
