After removing the suit after ten minutes or so, Emeline Chauveau gave her thoughts on this first experience. “At the level of all the members, the movements are made more difficult. It’s hell, we are stiff everywhere, we are not free in our actions. »Thus, she realized the reality of the physical health of the people she supports on a daily basis.
Sometimes we tell ourselves that they are exaggerating, that they are taking their time. Here, we understand that they cannot go faster.

Throughout the day, staff from the residence also tried on the suit.
For Florence Engelvin, network manager within the structure, “this experience has the merit of being constructive and of changing the methods of care and support for the elderly”.
The nursing school and hospital services will test it
A feeling shared by Jessy Camus, a recent specialist counselor for family caregivers, who came to share her experience after trying the aging suit a few months ago.
“I think that this awareness should be made compulsory in study courses related to old age so that, from the start, we are more tolerant of seniors. “
