An employee working in a private retirement home in Blagnac, north-west of Toulouse, is suspected of violence and acts of negligence against three residents according to information from The Midi Dispatch.
This 48-year-old caregiver, who had worked since June 2019 for the Edenis associative group which manages 21 establishments, was laid off at the end of December by her employer for “suspicions of abuse”. This Monday, a dismissal procedure was initiated against him by the management of the establishment.
“The employee confessed to certain things” and “will be fired”, told AFP the officials of this establishment who said they had filed a handrail at the end of December and also encouraged the families of the residents concerned to file a complaint. “These are systematic measures from the moment when there are facts which are confessed and with which we do not procrastinate”, insisted the management of the Ehpad, specifying that “all the residents concerned are fine”.
This Monday, Claire Hédon, the Defender of Rights, published a new report on the persistence “ violations of fundamental rights elderly people in retirement homes”, eighteen months after its previous report and the publication of the investigative book “Les Fossoyeurs”.
