Interim Long-Term Care
Kemptville District Hospital provides interim long-term care for residents awaiting acceptance in their selected long-term care facilities. Long-term care is designed to meet the needs of people who can no longer perform everyday tasks, like getting dressed, eating or bathing. Long-term care also provides for people who have Alzheimer’s and other cognitive and physical impairments.
At Kemptville District Hospital we have a 12-bed Interim Long-Term Care Unit located on the upper story of the hospital, which is located at 2675 Concession Road in Kemptville, Ontario, K0G 1J0.

Our staff and volunteers create a very home-like atmosphere in our Interim Long-Term Care Unit. Residents eat their meals in their own sunny dining room, and enjoy a wide variety of activities, including music, games and crafts, pet therapy and outings. All rooms on the unit are equipped with air conditioning. Our residents also enjoy planting strawberries and herbs in the hospital garden. Residents’ birthdays are celebrated at monthly parties, festive teas are held, and special meals are planned.

“I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the physicians, nurses, nursing aides, dietary, environmental services, lab, and diagnostic imaging staff, and many others who helped so much to make my stay in March so much easier for me. It was a worrying time for me and my family. There was not a single staff member at any time who did not make me feel more at ease and well cared for. I am still finding ways to cope with my condition and slowly but steadily improving with the regular support of my doctors and remain cautiously optimistic, but it looks like a long road ahead. I learned a lot while I was being cared for, particularly about the value of those small instances of human kindness. I wanted to express my appreciation for all the dedicated work everyone at KDH does.”
