Program Description
"Carole Baker, from Derby Royal Hospital, explained: 'We have had patients who have refused to eat in their beds or their chairs because they don't understand where they are. But as soon as they have been in the RemPod with all the fixtures they recognise from long-term memory, they have started eating again. It is like they feel more at home and not as frightened by the strange, sometimes noisy, environment of the hospital.' "
"They provide so many authentic items from the past to see, touch and interact with, and they act as a starting point for lots of conversations and happy reminiscences."
