When patients who suffer from Alzheimer’s or Dementia return to the Cognitive Assessment Management or cam unit at St. Joseph’s Hospital next week, they will be in for a treat.
The newly renovated unit has been made to look more like a street than a hospital floor. Laurie Flood is executive director of the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation and tells our newsroom it’s been made to feel more like home than a clinical space because the doors have been wrapped in designs to look like a house door.
In fact some of the designs can be found on doors in the Uptown.
Flood says the cost of the renovations came in at a little over a half million dollars and everyone is very pleased with how it all turned out.
