Our Story

In the words of a Family Caregiver

“My husband and I have been married for 42 years and have rarely been apart. After his stroke, family presence allowed me to fully participate in his care, from therapy to physician visits. It also greatly reduced my stress because I didn’t have to worry about travel. Most importantly, it allowed us to maintain our relationship during his recovery.”

In 2018, Bridgepoint Active Healthcare introduced a Family Presence policy, allowing families and caregivers 24-hour access to their loved ones. As an integral part of our collaborative care team, family caregivers provide indispensable support. The new policy is a major milestone in our Quality Improvement Plan as we work towards more patient- and family-centred care.
