Waypoint At Home

Connecting patients to care at home after discharge

Waypoint at Home is a new community program that provides patients with the care they need at home when discharged from Waypoint.

The Waypoint at Home team has mental health and addiction specialists, nurses, behaviour therapists, behaviour support workers, personal support workers and social workers and is working in partnership with Bayshore HealthCare - Integrated Care Solutions (ICS).

The Waypoint At Home Program will provide services based on patient need and may include care coordination, professional or personal support services, and homemaking or community support services in alignment with Home and Community Care regulations.

How does Waypoint at Home work?
Before at patient leaves the hospital, the Waypoint at Home Care Coordinator will meet with them and their family to create a discharge care plan. This plan will be shared with everyone involved in providing the patient support once they are discharged. The first home visit with a nurse will be scheduled before the patient leaves the hospital.

How long does Waypoint at Home last?
Most patients are part of the Waypoint at Home program between 8-16 weeks. The Waypoint at Home team will use different ways to check in and care for the patient, such as:
 * home visits
 * phone calls/virtual visits
 * technology like remote care monitoring
