Today, St. Joseph's Hospital Social Worker, Cheryl Christenson confirmed for us what we had been hearing from the on call Dr's - Mom's care and safety is now best handled by the professionals at St. Joseph's until a time in the future (near future we hope) when she will be moved to long-term care facility in the Comox Valley or surrounding areas.
We don't know how long the wait will be. Currently Mom is in the 'inpatient emergency ward' of the hospital until they find her a bed on the 'transitional ward'. This is where people who are either transitioning to go home or to a care facility are placed - there is emphasis on re-hab on this ward.
