The Alacare Home Health & Hospice Nursing Skills Suite, in honor of Susan B. Brouillette, MPA, MBA, Chief Executive Officer, is a simulation lab designed to look and function like a real home. It lets students practice essential home healthcare skills in a safe, comfortable and supportive controlled environment.

The suite has a full working kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area. This flexible space allows instructors to create realistic scenarios for different learning experiences for students to help improve their clinical judgment, communication skills and ability to handle the ever-changing environment in the home health settings. It also has video recording and playback technology so students can review their performance and get feedback from instructors.

This comprehensive and engaging learning experience makes the suite a valuable resource for home health education.
