Renovation on 3 West
The west wing of the 3rd (3 West) floor in Baycrest Hospital, home of the Rehabilitation and Geriatric Assessment and Treatment Programs, is scheduled to undergo renovations in late June. The unit will be closed during the month of July and the staff and clients will be relocated to the 7th floor of the hospital, East Wing (7 East), which is currently vacant. This will enable the programs to operate as usual.On June 26, the entire 3 West unit, including the patients (and their belongings), staff and equipment will move to 7 East. It is anticipated that the entire unit will return to 3 West in August.
Please be assured that all therapies and activities will continue on 7 East just as they have on 3 West. Treatment programs will not be affected by the move, and patients’ telephone numbers will remain the same.
We hope to make this move as easy for patients as possible. Patients and families are encouraged to speak with their physician or Baycrest staff if they have any concerns.
3 West is the final unit at Baycrest Hospital to be renovated.
