“We believe transitional healthcare represents a real improvement for the future of healthcare in Nova Scotia, ensuring patients who would otherwise wait in hospital receive the right support as they transition to a place they call home. We are grateful for the opportunity and for the trust being placed in us, and we look forward to meeting and exceeding the expectations of patients and our community.”- Jason Shannon, President, Shannex.

What is transitional care?

Transitional care provides support for those who do not need in-hospital care but still require ongoing support before they can transition to their home. Transitional health focuses on each patient’s individual care planning needs, restoring patient abilities,proper mobilization, nutrition, socialization, and care.
