HDS Capital Expansion - New Beds

As the only rehabilitation hospital in Niagara, Hotel Dieu Shaver provides all inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services to those residing throughout the Niagara Region, including all communities spanning from Fort Erie to Grimsby.  Hotel Dieu Shaver prides itself on providing a delivery system worthy of our patients’ and families’ trust, coupled with our dedication to ensure those living in our communities will have access to the programs and services that will optimize their recovery and quality of life.

On February 8, 2019 after 11 years of identified need, the Province of Ontario announced a $500,000 planning grant to allow Hotel Dieu Shaver to plan for an expansion of rehabilitation beds in Niagara.  The planning grant was a response to the need to address the significant challenges Hotel Dieu Shaver faces with its current outdated infrastructure and its desire to best meet the growing demands for rehabilitation in the Niagara Region. The proposed expansion of rehabilitation services will enhance the government's commitment to reduce hallway medicine and provide a seamless continuum of care as patients are better able to transition home and back into the community.

In the Summer of 2021, we worked closely with the Project Lead and with the Capital Branch of the Ministry of Health and successfully submitted our Stage 1A and 1B documentation and now await approval from the Ministry to proceed into Stage 2 of the Capital Build process.

As Niagara’s only specialty rehabilitation hospital and being located in Canada’s third oldest age demographic we require more rehabilitation beds. The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn further attention to the lack of space within our inpatient facility, creating huge challenges for our Infection Prevention and Control measures, particularly given the lack of private rooms and high number of three and four bed wards.

Hotel Dieu Shaver is well-positioned with the skill, expertise and interdisciplinary team to provide rehabilitation to patients with musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiac, functional, cognitive and respiratory challenges in our Niagara community – we just need more beds.
