IVO has now added the worst covid-affected homes in Skara and Vänersborg to the list of homes that will be specially examined as an unusual number died there in covid-19. Neither Skara nor Vänersborg have yet stated the names of each accommodation for IVO. But this means that the one accommodation that will be added will be Vallehemmet, where, as SVT reported, 11 out of 30 were reported dead in covid-19 from the end of May to the end of June.
- We have put these homes on the list after we received additional information from relatives, residents and health care staff, says Mari-Ann Larsen, unit manager at IVO in Gothenburg.
The reason why the four homes in Skara and Vänersborg are included on the list is that IVO received information anonymously in a number of reports of problems at these homes. According to IVO, this will also apply to two unnamed homes in Varberg that were already on the list of origin, which included 91 special homes when IVO presented last week. Now four are added and the list thus includes 95 homes.
- It is also the statistics we have seen for these homes that make us put them on the list, says Mari-Ann Larsen.
Ten eleven eleven died in covid-19In Skara's case, it is the two dwellings where deaths occurred in covid-19. At Vallehemmet, on June 30, eleven people had died in covid-19, at the other home two. In one of the eleven deaths at Vallehemmet, the diagnosis is somewhat uncertain, but it has still been reported as covid-19 in the statistics.
IVO now requests ten health and medical records for each resident, including care plans for people who have or have had covid-19 and who have received treatment for their symptoms. This applies to deceased persons. The municipalities must send in the records for the five first patients and the five last patients at each accommodation. If the number is less than ten, all records must be sent to IVO.
Varberg must answer and clarify the names of the homes for IVO on 17 July, while Skara and Vänersborg's answer must be in on 24 July.
A number of accommodations that are to be reviewed, but which were anonymous in the first list, are now named on IVO's updated list. These are Bräddegården and Östhaga in Lidköping, Bonargårdens and Brittgården in Tibro and Randerslund and Solhemmet in Varberg.
