A new Snoezelen-inspired room at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne
October 7, 2024
Since mid-August, patients hospitalized at the geriatric unit of Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne can spend time in the brand new multi-sensory room that provides positive stimuli in a soothing atmosphere. The room is also equipped with technology, including an interactive console to stimulate the senses and encourage patients to move as a means to reduce the stress that comes with hospitalization. Activities are tailored to the abilities of people with cognitive disabilities. Kitchen facilities are available so that families can bring home-cooked meals to their hospitalized relatives.
“This brand new multi-sensory room on the geriatric unit was funded by our generous Liberty Lotto participants. Many thanks to them for their participation! By supporting our elderly patients, they help reduce aggression and apathy, stimulate their senses, ease their pain, improve their sleep and encourage sociability. Thanks to their caring gesture, our elderly patients will recover faster!” says Nathalie Boudreau, President and Executive Director of Fondation Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne.
Watch what Ysabelle Grégoire-Arbour, Head of the General Medicine Unit, and Mallaury India Nicolas, Nurse Clinician, have to say about this new multi-sensory room (in French).
