The services for the families

ne of the peculiarities of the hospice is to take care of the sick and its families: we must then create the environmental conditions so this can happen making treasure of the negative experience of the hospitals for acute. In this hospital the families are just tolerated, they can see its sick just in the visit time, with insufficient possibilities of talk with doctors and nurses, held to the margins of the vicissitude of just beloved who the much times depends instead on the words of the its families both he's debilitated and they help their to confront the reality: naturally the attitude of the hospital for acute is comprehensible on the aspect of its institutional fine, to diagnose and to cure quickly curable diseases, while it becomes, as we said, inadequate if confronted with our sick, people with life limiting illnesses.
   n the hospice there are two living-rooms for the families, where they can find quiet and silence to alleviate tension for the continuos nearness with this type of the sick; in these locals, become familiar, the families and the friends collect themselves after the dead of just beloved while the corpse come composed in the room. There are then two small kitchens with pottery, sink, stove and refrigerator in which the families have something to eat and drink or preserve what they take from house for the sick.
    he more meaningful atmosphere for the aggregation (and the sharing of the own worries) is the central living-room that re-unites physically and ideally the two sections of the hospice round to a fireplace encircled from semicircular sofa where you can try pause, rest and meeting volunteers, operating or the own families. The circular form of the structure favours the encounter and the socialization for who can move from own room, while the wide spaces and the balconies are available for who try extended horizons.
    particular signal merit the chapel, other central place of the construction, although more shielded: they can collect the families and the sick. They have to disposition a little confidential chorus that can receive with discretion also sick disfigured or that they perceive themselves such: the church has been constructed just for being to "capacity of hand" without intrusiveness, in order to become, for who wants it, integrating part of the life of the hospice.
