Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) is pleased to announce an expanded partnership with the Toronto Grace Health Centre, providing eligible CMH patients with remote care monitoring and personal support worker (PSW) assistance. This initiative ensures a safe discharge home for patients awaiting long-term care, helping to address the hospital’s alternate level of care (ALC) pressures.
The fully-funded Remote Care Monitoring Plus (RCM+) program, which CMH applied for and received approval in the summer of 2023, offers a comprehensive solution for patient care. The RCM+ program equips patients with a pendant that uses geolocating technologies to detect wandering or falls. Additionally, the program provides extensive PSW support and access to nursing care through Home and Community Care services.
"We are thrilled to offer the RCM+ program to our patients," said Heather Campbell, VP of Patient Care at Campbellford Memorial Hospital. "This innovative program has proven to be a safe and effective care option, allowing eligible patients the ability to stay at home while waiting for long term care."
Patients who meet the program's eligibility criteria benefit from enhanced care, ensuring their safety and well-being while they transition to long-term care. The RCM+ program exemplifies CMH's commitment to providing high-quality, patient-centered care while addressing the challenges faced by the healthcare system in Ontario.
