Position Summary

As a member of a multi-disciplinary Team, the Registered Practical Nurse practices in accordance with relevant legislation/standards, the UHN Professional Practice Model and the mission and vision of nursing at the UHN to provide compassionate, collaborative and competent care, while meeting the legal and ethical requirements of the profession.

UHN's Reactivation Care Centre (RCC) provides a supportive space, for specialized care, focused on reactivation, for patients who no longer need acute care and are focused on the goal of safely returning to the community – whether that be home, long-term-care, or an alternative home setting.
As part of the Ministry of Health and Ontario Health's commitment to alleviating hospital pressures across the Greater Toronto Area, the RCC, which UHN operates in partnership with Sinai Health and Trillium Health Partners, connects patients with the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

While therapeutic programming keeps patients focused on achieving their individual reactivation goals – whether it's building strength and endurance, managing medication, or maintaining mobility, as they plan for a safe transition – our recreational schedule builds community, encourages socialization and connects patients to activities that are meaningful in their everyday lives.
Providing Exceptional Care

Our dedicated and diverse team of health care providers work together to support patients in realizing their reactivation goals. Together, they are committed to putting the needs of patients first, and offering an environment where patients feel safe, motivated, and prepared, as they plan for the next step in their care journey.
