A blanket warmer is added to the beds to help provide an extra level of thermal protection to keep our elderly patients warm.
- Safety enhancements - New low skid flooring has been installed, which is also low glare to prevent falls from both sight issues and better traction. Hand rails have been installed in all the elderly friendly rooms and the hallway adjacent to those rooms. Larger call bells for the nurse call system to make it easier for patients with poor dexterity to press the call button.
- And more – Throughout the ER, the color scheme was changed to include rich, golden hues, which are more soothing to the elderly eye.
