Helping More Patients on Their Journey Home

On April 7, West Bedford Transitional Health (WBTH) welcomed its first patient into Phase Two, marking a major milestone as the site expanded from 68 to 178 beds. This growth reflects WBTH’s unique role in the healthcare system, supporting people on their journey home by focusing on recovery, dignity, and a steady return to independence, made possible by the dedication of the teams who bring this work to life every day.

Since opening, care has centered on patient engagement, mobility, and overall wellness, helping individuals rebuild strength, confidence, and daily living skills. The impact has been significant, easing pressure on hospitals and making space for patients who need acute care most.

“Courage is the main thing. You have to have courage, and you have to work with yourteam, whether it be Occupational Therapists or Physiotherapists, Nurses, Transitional Care Assistants–workwiththem.”– Susan Forrest, WBTH Patient
