Bridgehouse at the Ranipet Campus
A Haven for Healing at CMC Vellore
Patients travel to CMC from all over the country seeking health & healing. Life-saving treatments for children and adults can last from a few weeks to a few months. Families grappling with conditions like cancer and kidney diseases not only face these health challenges but also the added stress of finding affordable and secure long-term housing in Vellore. Bridgehouse is CMC’s dream to offer simple and safe accommodation for long-term patients to continue their treatment, recover, and regain strength.
Addressing the Critical Need for Safe Extended Stay Facilities
Patients requiring extended stays need a clean and secure environment post-discharge. While some can secure safe rented accommodations in and around Vellore, it poses challenges. Financially constrained individuals often resort to crowded lodges, heightening infection risks for immunocompromised patients. Moreover, they face lengthy commutes to the Ranipet Campus. Bridgehouse, situated within CMC’s Ranipet Campus, aims to be a comforting haven, facilitating convenient access to follow-up care, chemotherapy, and ongoing treatment.
A Supportive Community Created through Safe Spaces
CMC’s vision entails a three-story building designed to offer a secure and hygienic environment, fostering a sense of community among residents and creating an atmosphere conducive to healing. Bridgehouse will offer:
- Shared and single rooms accommodating up to 60 families, catering to both General and Private Ward patients.
- Common facilities for cooking and laundry, ensuring convenience and cleanliness.
- Outdoor gardens and play areas designed for children, providing a refreshing and rejuvenating environment.
- Community spaces encouraging informal interactions, fostering support networks among residents.
