Location

PRESENTATION OF THE UNIT

Unit 32 is a geriatric unit that can cater to up to 30 patients over the age of 75.
At the end of the corridor, a glass enclosure is at your disposal, during visiting hours. 

TREATMENT

You will be cared for by a multidisciplinary team: a geriatrician, nurses, nursing assistants, a social worker, a physical therapist, an ergotherapist, a dietitian and a speech therapist: depending on your needs.
A multidisciplinary meeting is held once a week. 

YOUR ROOM

Your room features a medical bed, an armchair, a refrigerator and a bedside table. The bathroom, equipped with a secure shower, a hair dryer, toilet and two sinks, is at the disposal of the room's two occupants.
A curtain separating the two beds allows for some privacy.
A call system is available, whether you are in bed or in the armchair. 

MEAL ORGANISATION

The menus are prepared by a dietitian, in conjunction with the medical professionals and care team; they are adapted and revised on a daily basis depending on the patients' needs.
Breakfast is served at 8.00am by a competent staff who were trained in food preparation. Some days, volunteers come in to assist, themselves having been trained also.
Lunch is served at 12.15pm and dinner at 5.30pm.
A snack is provided for patients who need it.
Visitors are asked to not eat the food served to the patients, even if they have not finished their meal. The quantities eaten may be part of an assessment useful for the patient's treatment.

Meals provided by hospital catering are suited to your specific needs with regard to your hospitalization. The Europe Hospitals accept no responsibility whatsoever in respect of storage, hygiene or quality of food other than that provided by hospital catering. Thank you for your understanding.
