Supporting Recovery on the Journey Home

Tea-cup Cottage are Experts in Transitions

Tea-cup Cottage’s Transitional Care Program provides short-term, clinically supported accommodation for seniors who need additional time and care following a hospital stay before safely returning home.

Leaving hospital is an important milestone, but it can also be a vulnerable time for individuals and their families. Many people require additional time, support and reassurance before they are ready to safely return home.

Tea-cup Cottage’s transitional care program provides that essential bridge. Our program offers safe, reliable support in a welcoming environment where individuals can complete their recovery, rebuild confidence and prepare for a safe return home.

For almost two decades, we have supported thousands of families through important life transitions, combining professional expertise with genuine compassion.
