What We Do

We provide psychiatric care for patients needing immediate and intensive mental health support. Our physician-led team of mental health professionals delivers 24-hour care and includes nurses, social workers and allied health care team members. We work with patients to develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication, counselling and therapeutic groups. Our goal is to treat a patient’s acute psychiatric symptoms, stabilize their mental health, and plan outpatient treatment to ensure mental health support after hospitalization.

Our 34-bed unit hosts adults with a range of psychiatric diagnoses that include:

  • mood, anxiety, or psychosis issues
  • eating disorders
  • substance use disorders
  • illnesses specific to the mental health of seniors

The unit is composed of a general ward and the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), a more secure area for patients who need a higher level of care and observation.​
