After ten years of planning, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital opened the doors to its new state-of-the-art facility at 150 Kilgour Road in Toronto in 2006.
Our building includes a number of innovative features that enables us to serve all of our clients and families under one roof. From food services, recreation areas and therapy facilities to resource centres and conference services, the opportunity to further our mandate as an organization and provide more comprehensive care to children with special needs and the general community, has never been more promising.
Below you will find more information about some of the special services featured in our building.

Recreational or instructional aquatic programs are offered 7 days a week to the general community serving infants to seniors.

It aims to provide an oasis of tranquility where you can relax and have the opportunity to choose an activity at your own pace.
The Snoezelen pool creates a gently stimulating environment by combining lights, sounds and textures with the medicinal effects of a warm therapy pool.
Holland Bloorview’s community Snoezelen room and pool are open to Holland Bloorview clients, community agencies, schools and support organizations for children and adults with disabilities.

Lactating persons are welcome to breastfeed, chestfeed, and/or express milk anywhere, any time in the hospital. We acknowledge that some individuals prefer privacy while nursing. Those who prefer a semi-private, quieter space are welcome to use our designated breast/chestfeeding-friendly spaces in the Grocery Foundation Resource Centre (GFRC) and by second floor reception in the West wing.
Both spaces include specialty nursing chairs. The GFRC offers a comfortable glider chair with a high back for privacy, and planters with lush greenery as an additional privacy feature. Those using the second floor space have access to a wider nursing chair with armrests and a high back for privacy, and to accommodate various feeding positions. Each space also features a variety of artwork produced by Holland Bloorview families.
