title: [Promoting the dignity and respect of elderly people in institutions].
abstract: How can caregivers avoid the mechanical nature of the repetitive care given to elderly people in institutions? As part of a training programme set up in the long-term care home of Saint-Pierre-le-Moutier, a group of caregivers considered this question. On the basis of an ethical approach, they created tools to offer a form of dignified care which respects both the resident and the caregiver.
