Accommodations

York Central Hospital offers private, semi-Private and ward (4 beds per room) accommodations. Every attempt is made to fulfill the patient's request for private and semi-private accommodations; however, this can be limited by availability. There are additional costs for private and semi-private rooms.

Standard (Ward) Rooms
A standard patient room at York Central Hospital has four beds, with privacy curtains. The cost of this room is generally covered by federal and provincial (OHIP for Ontario residents) health insurance. This policy does not apply to visitors to Canada or for uninsured procedures such as cosmetic surgery. In these cases, arrangements will be made for payment upon admission.

In the Centre for Continuing Care and Rehabilitation, ward accommodation refers to 2-bed rooms.

Preferred (Private and Semi-Private) Accommodations
Preferred accommodations are generally available upon request. Private accommodations have only one bed per room, and semi-private accommodations have two beds separated by a privacy curtain. The additional cost to stay in one of these rooms is not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Program (OHIP).

Many patients have additional health insurance through an employee or private plan that may cover the cost for preferred accommodation. If you do not have additional coverage under your supplemental insurance plan and choose to stay in a private or semi-private room, you will be required to pay the additional cost.

Sometimes, patients must move from private or semi-private room to ward accommodations to provide necessary accommodations for a more critical patient. These moves are only done in critical circumstances and occur infrequently. We appreciate your understanding if this happens to you or a loved one.
