West Bedford Transitional Health

On December 10, 2024, Shannex and our partner Nova Scotia Health, welcomed the first patients of West Bedford Transitional Health in Bedford, N.S. Transitional health is a new model of care for patients aged 18 and older who have completed their hospital stay but need more time and support to successfully transition back to the community.

What’s unique about transitional health is an individualized approach to caring for the whole person with consideration for their personal goals for living well. Patients are partners in their care planning and collaborate with clinicians, like occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and others.

Programs offered will include:

• Rehabilitation services 
• Post-operation surgical recovery
• Wellness programs to optimize independence
• Recreation and leisure programs for a variety of  interests and abilities
