[A cyber lounge to reinforce elderly people's social ties].
Contact with family and friends is essential for elderly people. A multi-professional working group studied ways in which these social and family ties could be reinforced in nursing homes. By using new communication technologies, a "cyber lounge" project using the internet has been established in Fontainebleau's hospital centre.
