The Ehpad of the Orpea group on the “Borders of the Seine”, particularly targeted by the work Les Fossoyeurs, will have to change.

And in particular to comply with the injunctions of the Ile-de-France Regional Health Agency (ARS IDF), which unveiled a report on Tuesday strongly pinning the structure.

The Ehpad is ordered to reorganize its day and night teams, within three months.

To "secure the organization of the drug circuit" within a month, to "carry out an assessment of the risks of undernutrition" and to "implement fortified meals" within a month, or again to “update the conventions of liberal exercise of masseurs-physiotherapists” and to “ensure traceability in the files of residents”, this time “without delay”.

90 inspections

Since the publication of Victor Castanet's book in January, the ARS IDF has carried out 90 inspections within accommodation establishments for dependent elderly people in the Ile-de-France region, with 707 Ehpad of which 19% are public, 33% private not-for-profit and 48% private for-profit.

The Ehpad of the Orpea group on the "Bords de Seine" in Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine), intended for the elderly suffering in particular from Alzheimer's, is one of the four establishments having been the subject of a "final decision" following these checks.

Neither "enriched meals" nor "appetizing"

These directives are based on the observation of malfunctions.

Thus, the report notes the understaffing "likely to affect the quality and safety of the care of residents", with in particular an increased use of temporary workers.

He also stresses that the rights of users “are not all respected” and that “some of the services offered (…) do not exist (…), such as balneotherapy”.

"While the manager has chosen an internal catering service", there is neither "enriched meal" nor "appetizing", continues the Agency which meets "malnourished patients".

In addition, the pre-reporting of incidents are not transmitted to the ARS or to the Department, ensures the report.

Preliminary investigation for manslaughter

Asked by AFP, the Orpea group assured that it would implement these changes “as soon as possible” and presented its “apologies to the residents and families”.

The ARS IDF "has issued recommendations and prescriptions and a single injunction, which we will process as soon as possible", reacted the Orpea group, underlining the "unprecedented" context of the health crisis linked to Covid-19.

“The first corrective measures are already in place” to better organize the teams, guaranteed Orpea, with in particular the support of “a coordinating nurse since March 18”, and the training of two “additional well-treatment referents”.

The Ehpad des Bords de Seine is also at the heart of a preliminary investigation opened in Nanterre, in particular for manslaughter, following a complaint filed in 2020.
