Your Stay
Accommodation
You will be staying in one of three types of accommodations:
- Private: One patient per room
- Semi-private: Two patients share one room
- Ward: Three patients share one room
Rates vary based on choice of accommodation and insurance coverage.
We may move our patients or restrict access if specific rooms are needed for medical reasons, safety reasons and renovations, or to provide requested preferred accommodation.
If admitted to Saint-Vincent Hospital, you may be charged a monthly co-payment fee if there are no discharge possibilities. This fee is calculated based on your annual income, with a maximum rate set by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
Accounts Receivable and Trust
Upon admission, you or your substitute decision maker must present yourself at the Accounts Receivable and Trust office (see map) to confirm accommodation preference, insurance information, and television/telephone service requests.
Please bring:
- A health card
- Proof of insurance
- Copies of existing power of attorney documents for property and/or personal care
We recommend that you open an in-trust account to safely store small amounts of money and that you keep less than $20 in your room.
