Reconnect Community Health Services, CANES Community Care and Sunrise Senior Living have entered a new era in transitional care. Their new partnership arrangement has achieved a consolidation of 17 transitional care beds from two City of Toronto Assisted Living sites into one Retirement Residence in Thornhill, Ontario.
“We are excited to partner with CANES Community Care and Sunrise Senior Living to achieve new efficiencies and added amenities at the Sunrise Thornhill Community” stated Mohamed Badsha, CEO. “Through the cooperation of our partners we will be able to offer improved accommodation, meals and amenities at this new site and I am sure our clients and staff will be very pleased with the new surroundings.”
“CANES Community Care has been looking for an opportunity to extend our agreement with Sunrise Senior Living and this is the perfect time” noted Gord Gunning, CEO. “We already have a partnership with Reconnect Community Health Services where we back each other up through our Business Continuity/Emergency Preparedness Plans so this is a natural extension to collaborate on our respective transitional care services”.
“Sunrise Senior Living partnered with CANES Community Care through a Master Agreement in 2022 so when CANES presented us with a business case to have Reconnect relocate 17 transitional care beds to our Thornhill Community we were thrilled” stated Luca Kamber, Director of Operations – Ontario. “We look forward to future opportunities to work with Reconnect and CANES to strengthen our partnership and expand transitional care in our communities”.
