The release of the book "Les gravediggers", which revealed the scandal of Ehpad Orpea, the word is gradually released on the dysfunctions that can occur in these establishments welcoming dependent elderly people.
In recent years, nursing homes have been regularly questioned for their management based on the quest for profitability and the chronic lack of human and material resources, to the detriment of the well-being of residents.
Faced with this observation, some families choose to take their dependent parent home to avoid nursing home.
No more than three layers per day.
Meals of poor taste and nutritional quality.
Toilet made watch in hand.
If for years, the chronic lack of human and material resources in nursing homes has been regularly denounced, the publication of the investigative book
Les fossoyeurs
, which revealed the case of the Orpea group nursing homes, has tarnished the image of these establishments welcoming our seniors.
Dependent elderly people whose well-being has been eroded on the altar of profitability.
Faced with this observation, some organize a whole range of appropriate care to help their elderly parent stay at home.
But when too great a loss of autonomy makes this option impossible, some choose to take their parent home to avoid nursing home.
Is this your case? Have you made the choice to welcome your elderly relative into your home (is it your mother, father or other?)? How did you organize this accommodation? Did you have a room and the logistical and financial capacity for this reception? Have you received any assistance to make any necessary adjustments? What is the degree of your parent's loss of autonomy and was it easy for you to set up an appropriate home care plan (caregiver, housekeeper, nurse, etc.)? Are you still working? How do you organize yourself with your loved ones during the holidays or if you have to be away? How do your family and your relative live this shared daily life? Tell us.
