The Centre d’h\u00e9bergement Champlain in Verdun officially launched their newly-designed inner courtyard and outdoor patio with a red-ribbon-cutting ceremony last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Features of the new decorated spaces include raised garden boxes, flowers, an awning, and a swing that\u2019s big enough to hold a wheelchair.\"wheelchairbalancoir\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The outdoor spaces are welcoming havens for residents and visitors,\u201d said Solange Choquette, a Crawford Park neighbour who serves as a volunteer residents\u2019 committee member. \u201cThe raised beds are particularly helpful for some of our residents in wheelchairs who can\u2019t participate in tending regular low-to-the-ground gardens. We even have someone doing workshops using the raised beds. It\u2019s such a wonderful space.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The new d\u00e9cor is a welcome addition to the long-term, rehabilitative and palliative care hospice at 1325 Crawford. The structure was built in 1976, and then updated and expanded continually through 1996. In 2004, it became part of the Centre de sant\u00e9 et de services sociaux (CSSS) du Sud-Ouest\u2013Verdun.<\/p>\n

Today, the Centre d’h\u00e9bergement Champlain houses 228 people, most of whom are in their long-term care program. There are also 32 people with intellectual disabilities and 27 people who need functional rehabilitation. Five people reside in the palliative care wing. All of the residents have limited mobility and rely on a building and services that require continual maintenance and improvement.<\/p>\n
