Brief summary: The Groupement de Coopération Sanitaire des Hôpitaux Universitaires du Grand Ouest (GCS HUGO) (health cooperation group for university hospitals in the west of France), is proposing to improve the quality of geriatric care by modernizing hospital rooms. The GCS HUGO has embarked on a project to co-design a hospital room adapted for the elderly, called "Hospi'Senior", with the help of the "Dépendance et Grand âge" (Dependency and Old Age) steering committee, made up of experts from HUGO's establishments and experts from several companies.

Detailed description: The main objective is to evaluate the effect of hospitalization in a Hospi'Senior room on the length of stay of elderly people compared with hospitalization in a conventional room for a similar admission reason.

The secondary objectives are to evaluate the effect of hospitalization in a Hospi'Senior room for elderly people, compared with hospitalization in a conventional room for a similar admission reason, on :

2) Changes in functional abilities during the hospital stay and in the 30 days following discharge from the short-stay geriatric unit 3) Occurrence of behavioral disorders 4) Occurrence of falls during the hospital stay and in the 30 days following discharge from the short-stay geriatric unit 5) Occurrence and/or worsening of stage bedsores ≥ 2 during the hospital stay as classified by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) 6) Occurrence of early rehospitalization

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age ≥ 75 years
* Admission in a short-stay geriatric department following initial emergency care department
* Hospitalization in single room: Hospi'Senior or conventional
* Affiliation to a social security scheme
* Informed consent to participate in the study from the patient or his/her representative (tutor/curator if applicable, or in order of priority a trusted person, the family or a person with whom the person concerned has a close and stable relationship)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Contraindication to study participation at the discretion of the medical team
* Hospitalization for more than 3 days (\>3 days) in the short-stay geriatric unit
* Hospitalization in a double room
* Planned hospitalization
* Poor understanding of the French language
* Patient under safeguard of justice
