COMPLEX CONTINUING CARE
The Complex Continuing Care (CCC) Program is
offered in a non-acute hospital setting for older
individuals who have complex medical conditions.
It provides assessment, treatment and care for
patients with multiple chronic complex medical
conditions and diagnoses.
Care is geared towards managing the needs of
patients in a way that promotes an enhanced
quality of life, within the scope of the patients'
condition. The program focuses on physical,
emotional, social and spiritual well-being. There
is a holistic and team approach to managing
complex medical conditions and providing
end-of-life care for terminal medical conditions.
The Complex Continuing Care Program helps
patients and their families identify strategies that
support client-centred and quality-of-life goals.
