A simulation research lab is officially open thanks to a partnership between the University of New Brunswick and Loch Lomond Villa which recreates the long-term care setting.
Dr. Rose McCloskey, nursing and health sciences professor, said the environment is set up with equipment including mannequins that serve as patients.
“The lab is designed to mimic a typical double resident room in a long-term care facility along with the shared washrooms, tub spaces and hallways,” McCloskey said, ” and this is a space where we are going to be able to conduct research. It’s equipped with technology so it will allow us to control the environment and to really monitor and track data,”.
