Canada’s largest inpatient Eating Disorder Program offers evidence-based, personalized treatment to individuals 16 and older. The program focuses on normalizing eating and activity and interrupting eating disorder symptoms.

Homewood Health offers two flexible inpatient streams:
Eating Disorder Program patients are assessed at intake and discharge using several tools, including Eating Disorders Examinations Version Q (EDE-Q). Based on the data, from September 2019 to May 2021, 90% of patients were below the clinical threshold for an eating disorder at the end of the program. In addition, patients displayed positive improvement rates for the anxiety scale, depression severity index, self-care index, change in care needs, depression and functioning, relationships, self-harm, emotional lability, psychosis, and substance use.
We also monitor patient satisfaction regularly to assist with quality control and ensure patients receive the highest quality care. Based on the recent data collected, 83% of patients state the program has met their needs.
