N.S. Public Health sets up ‘transition unit’ for adults waiting for home care The patients have been approved for discharge from hospitals but need to transition into the appropriate community care.However, health services like long-term care facilities are operating at reduced capacity because of COVID-19, further exacerbating wait times for admission into these facilities.Capacity at Northwood Halifax has been reduced by 100 beds “and that’s enabled us to have private rooms with the exception of 12 rooms in the whole facility,” Ryan said.Since the pandemic began, nursing homes across Canada have called on governments to overhaul the long-term care system.
