Discharge Planning

Discharge Planning is responsible for coordinating any ongoing care a patient may require following discharge from the hospital. The office is located on the third floor of The Moncton Hospital, in room 3513.

Patients often require care after leaving the hospital and our team of health care professionals assists patients in formulating this plan. Discharge planners provide information about various alternatives and available services that will best meet the post-discharge care needs of the patient.

Referrals to Discharge Planning come from the nursing units, physicians or other professionals. Patients or families who require discharge planning services can notify the nursing staff who will make the referral to discharge planning on their behalf.

Discharge planners can provide information on the following available community services:
  • Home care support services (e.g. homemakers, meals, etc.)
  • Home health care (e.g. Extra-Mural Program)
  • Long-term care (e.g. home help or placement)
  • Convalescent care/short-term care
  • Community support (e.g. Alzheimer's Society, Cancer Society)
