The CHSLD de la Mitis has been using the Famileo application for the past month to try to break the isolation of its residents, an idea that is all the rage among their loved ones.
“All families can post little notes, photos, what’s going on, what must ultimately be interesting for their loved ones,” explained the daughter of a resident who uses the application, Johanne Lévesque.
Each week, the CHSLD prints a personalized gazette for each resident that includes several photos and messages from their loved ones.
“For them who have difficulty going on the Internet or anything, it’s easier with a small newspaper,” said Sylvie Migneault, also the daughter of a resident of the CHSLD.
“My mother has dementia, so obviously speaking is more or less easy,” added Johanne Lévesque. But [avec le journal], I saw her reading, I saw her lips moving, her eyes shining, then she stopped at photos. It makes for precious memories.”
Once subscribed to the app, it is possible for up to 60 family members and loved ones to send photos, news and sweet words, making the app more personalized, unlike other media social.
It is also possible to enter into communication with the establishment that accommodates the relative in question.
“The comments are excellent, both families and residents who greatly appreciate this little newspaper, said Edith Thibault, general manager of the Mitis health foundation. I think it will make little ones!
For now, the CHSLD de la Mitis is the only establishment in Bas-Saint-Laurent that offers the application.
Residents and their loved ones want it to be offered quickly in other establishments in the province so that others can benefit from it.
