Family caregivers can spend long periods of time in the Level I
trauma ICU at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, N.Y.
Previously, the hospital housed a waiting room adjacent to the
ICU where visitors could take a break without leaving the unit,
but it wasn't an ideal setting to have a consultation with medical professionals or try to rest, says
Tom Lurcott, director of design coordination at Westchester Medical Center. "It was far too small
to offer privacy to any more than a single family group at one time," he says.
The Lieberman family experienced that setting firsthand after Evan Lieberman was brought
to the ICU and spent 30 days in the unit before dying from his injuries. Afterward, the family
decided to raise money to expand and renovate the area to feature a healing environment with
amenities that address the needs caregivers may face in a time of trauma. The Evan Lieberman
Friends and Family Lounge opened in October 2015.
The project started by relocating some support and office spaces to expand the existing
lounge and rerouting some internal corridors to move clinical traffic away from the quiet waiting area. The new lounge features two private consultation rooms, two enclosed rooms with
sleeping couches, a small kitchen with a nutrition station, and a locker room with a shower.
"The opportunity for family members to stay near their loved one, have some privacy, and rest in
comfortable surroundings enhances their ability to help the patient," Lurcott says.
To create a soothing setting, the 2,400-square-foot space uses cool blue and gray floor and
wall coverings, wood accents, and upholstered chairs and couches. Linda McGinnis, RN and
vice president of patient care services at Westchester Medical Center, says families appreciate
the convenience and the new amenities, which allow them to support their own family members
as well as become a help network for others. "It fosters respect and dignity," she says.-AD
