Press Release: Groves Memorial Community Hospital
FERGUS – Groves Memorial Community Hospital (GMCH), in partnership with Bayshore Integrated Care Solutions (ICS), is making it easier for patients to safely transition from hospital to home with the launch of GMCH’s @Home — a new program that provides coordinated, compassionate care where it matters most: at home.
GMCH’s @Home is designed to support patients, over the age of 18 with complex health needs, in the critical first weeks after hospital discharge, helping them recover comfortably. The program includes a dedicated team of nurses, personal support workers, coordinators, and social workers who ensure patients receive the right care at the right time.
“Our goal with GMCH’s @Home is to make the first few weeks after leaving the hospital as smooth and supported as possible,” said Matt Smith, VP Quality and Clinical Services and CNE, GMCH. “This program allows us to extend hospital-quality care into our patients’ homes, ensuring they have the help they need to recover safely and confidently.”
“We’re proud to partner with Groves Memorial Community Hospital to launch the @Home program, which supports patients to transition smoothly from hospital to home,” said Danielle Holler, Regional Director at Bayshore Integrated Care Solutions. “We believe recovery happens best at home. This program allows us to deliver personalized, quality care that helps patients regain their independence after hospitalization.”
“By partnering with Bayshore HealthCare, we’re helping people stay well and independent at home, while reducing unnecessary hospital readmissions,” states Smith. “This service will ensure a smooth transition for patients going home after a hospital stay and free up bed space for those who need it most.”
GMCH received funding from the Ontario government to operate the @Home program.
“This funding represents a part of our government’s plan to strengthen our healthcare system,” said Joseph Racinsky, MPP Wellington-Halton Hills. “I heard loud and clear from residents in Wellington County that they want faster and more flexible access to care. This partnership will enable more people in our community to live, heal, and thrive in their own homes.”
