Cogir Foundation donates $25,000 to improve care in CHSLDs

The Fondation Santé Urbaine is proud to partner with the Cogir Foundation in bringing this innovative equipment to a CHSLD within the CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal.

A concrete step for dignity and well-being

PNearly a quarter of residents living in CHSLDs are unable to take a traditional bath due to physical or cognitive limitations. Until now, these individuals often received sponge baths — a less comfortable and sometimes anxiety-inducing alternative.

Thanks to this innovative, Quebec-made equipment, it will now be possible to offer a complete, safe, and soothing bath directly in bed. This approach promotes comfort, dignity, and tranquility for the most vulnerable individuals, while ensuring the essential hygiene care that is vital to their health.

Thank you to the Cogir Foundation

This generous gift reflects a deep understanding of the needs of CHSLD residents and aligns perfectly with the Fondation Santé Urbaine’s mission: to improve care at every stage of life, from birth to end of life.

By supporting this project, the Cogir Foundation is helping transform a simple hygiene routine into a moment of comfort, dignity, and compassion.
