Stroke Rehabilitation (Inpatient)

The Stroke Rehabilitation program is part of the Integrated Stroke Program at the Hamilton General Hospital. We provide high intensity rehabilitation to patients with stroke. Our average length of stay is 22-26 days and varies based on severity of the stroke and the individual’s achievable goals.

What to Expect

When you arrive on B2N, you will be provided with a Stroke Care Binder which is a resource for stroke and allows any information provided by your team to stay in one consistent location. We also include a general “Welcome to B2N” document that outlines the ward and important information for what to bring, what happens on the unit, and information about leaving B2N.
