Falls Prevention

We have designed this program to reduce our patient’s risk of falling. This program is tailored for patients 50+ with recent falls, balance or mobility issues.

Our Occupational Therapist will complete a falls risk assessment and provide appropriate intervention in order to reduce the future risk of falling.

We have introduced our Strong and Steady group to complement our Falls Prevention program. See our poster below for more details.

 

After Hours Care

If I am sick after work hours do I have to go to the hospital?

If you think it's an emergency, you should go to the nearest hospital. However, you should be aware that there are several alternatives for you and your family after hours.

For example, our Family Health Team offers extended hours Monday through Thursday and Saturday. We would advise you to call us prior to visiting a clinic.

Telehealth Ontario also provides free access to a registered nurse 24/7 at 1-866-797-0000. A nurse can provide both health advice on a specific concern or general health information. They do not diagnose and do not replace your physician.
