a residence in Yonne receives the “humanitude” label, a guarantee of good treatment

At a time when the Saint-Loup residence in Brienon-sur-Amançon (Yonne) is waking up, Anne-Sophie Thieblemont, a caregiver, must go and help residents get up with an absolute rule: do not enter a room like in a mill. From this moment, this caregiver will explain each gesture that she must perform, in order to respect the privacy of the residents and to be sure that they consent to everything. Here, no forced care, you have to take the time to convince.

A guarantee of good treatment

This is called humanitude, which begins with the gaze. Anne-Sophie Thieblemont explains: “The gaze, we always do it horizontally. We never look down on a resident.” None of the 75 residents of the Ehpad stays in their room, each one does an activity. Around the tables, there are the fittest, but also those with significant cognitive impairment. It is the will of the establishment to mix them. All of these steps have enabled the nursing home to receive the “humanitude” label, a guarantee of good treatment awarded by professionals.
