Although reports are circulating about the location of new hospice beds in Huron and Perth Counties, the Southwest LHIN says no decisions have been made.
CEO Michael Barrett says community committees have made recommendations to the board as to where the ten beds allocated for the region should go.
"We want to ensure that we locate these beds so that we serve the greatest number of people within those two counties, and at the same time ensure that we have enough beds in one location to provide an efficient and safe operation for the residential hospice," says Barrett.
Reports suggest the recommendations call for six beds at Greenwood court in Stratford, and four beds in Clinton.
But Barrett says nothing is finalized, and the board still has to consider all of the information. He expects that to happen early in the new year.
