Real empathy, real compassion, dignity beyond appearance and sickness

Really listening is meeting another in the relationship. Let us multiply these initiatives in Quebec. When the relationship takes precedence over institutional rules and that we bet on the strengths of the individual instead of the loss of autonomy. To love and be loved.

An inspiring film!

Carpe Diem, until the end of life

Seizing the reality of people with Alzheimers, to meet them… that is the philosophy of Carpe Diem house, a unique place in Quebec where relationships with others take priority. Here, the residents participate in the daily tasks, there is no fixed schedule for waking or sleeping, the rythm of each person is taken into consideration… A respectful approach to the patient, born of the establishment's director Nicole Poirier's convictions, and of her team.

Directed by : Laurence Serfaty
