That did not improve in the second half of the year, according to figures provided by the hospital, averaging per cent. A visit to Southlake this month reveals patients housed in a range of what are officially called "unconventional spaces," including a former exercise gym.
Here the beds are separated by portable surgical screens, the makeshift nursing station is a collection of desks and tables mostly covered with medical supplies, and there's no bathroom, so patients have to walk down the hall. Patients who spoke to CBC News in the exercise room said it was better than staying in Southlake's crowded emergency room, but less than ideal.
They still provide excellent care to our patients and I'm sure at the end of the day they're not always happy with what's happening. Rogers said there have been patients in the hallway on her floor daily for the previous two weeks. No one on Southlake's staff is content with the overcrowding, from the nurses to the hospital's chief executive. The perpetual overcrowding at Southlake means hospital staff are daily putting anywhere from 20 to 50 patients into spaces that were not intended for patient care.
Like many hospitals in Ontario, Southlake has large numbers of older patients occupying beds who don't actually need acute care, but can't leave the hospital because they need more care than they can receive at home.
