William Osler Health System offers inpatient rehabilitation at the Brampton Civic Hospital site.
The Inpatient Rehabilitation programs are progressive rehab programs designed for adults who are able to tolerate a high-intensity rehab program to re-build their strength and independence, and with medical and nursing care needs that cannot yet be met in the community.
The Functional Enhancement Service (FES) is a lower intensity rehabilitation program located within our Complex Continuing Care unit. FES is designed for people who have longer-term illnesses or disabilities, limited activity tolerance, and may need more medical/nursing care.
Most patients are referred by the acute inpatient units at Osler (Etobicoke General Hospital or Brampton Civic Hospital), and external applications will be considered if referred by a physician or another acute care facility.
Headwaters Health Care Centre (HHCC), located in Orangeville, provides general inpatient rehabilitation to assist patients to achieve their maximum function prior to returning home. Our rehabilitation beds are situated on our Complex Continuing Care unit and general rehabilitation is provided for patients coming from acute inpatient units at HHCC.
