This isthe Journal de l’ile de La Runionwho reveals this information: a resident of the Naze Saint-Franois (Saint-Denis) pension, 57 years old, died “following an illness and a fall”. An investigation is underway to find out whether the accommodation conditions are at issue in this death.
Indeed this Saturday, May 30, a report pinched the conditions of accommodation of this pension, including electrical risks and fires. The same day, the ARS and the Department announced the establishment of the pension control system, to fight against fraud and illegal accommodation pensions.
“An inspection was conducted jointly by the Departmental Council and the ARS on the Naze Saint-Franois pension, while an intervention by the SDIS, requested by the Prefect of La Runion, took place in addition. This control concluded for the Department and ARS the need toRelocate as quickly as possible ten residents for whom the reception and care conditions turn out to be profoundly unsuitable for their needs,without, however, any situation of deliberate ill-treatment or lack of care being objectified, given the daily visit of private nurses and regular medical follow-up. “
A provisional administration of these residents was therefore entrusted to the Association Saint-Franois d’Assises (ASFA), “expressed in the field of the elderly and the disabled”.
However, according to the JIR, the death of this resident caused panic within the ARS and the Department. This event caused “a new awareness of the institutions”. Patients, the weakest, would have been transferred. It remains to be seen whether the housing conditions are in fact linked to the poor man’s death.
In a new press release dated June 3, the ARS and the Department gave more information on the rehousing of these ten residents. “ASFA therefore makes every effort to ensure quality support and up-to-date care for residents, with the support of liberal professionals (nurses, doctors) whose continuity of intervention is encouraged,” said the press release. , in “the desire to secure and support residents in the best possible way in the current premises, and to seek rehousing solutions in accordance with the wishes of the interested parties and their families, and with the agreement, as appropriate, of the guardianship delegates . “
– Accelerated transfers –
Also according to JIR, the death of the resident has now causedthe acceleration of the transfer of other residentsin “structures worthy of the name”. A team from the CHU du Nord was also dispatched to carry out Covid-19 screening tests before the transfer of a dozen of them to the hospital’s griatry service.
The task is difficult for many other residents, who are said to suffer from disabilities and psychological disorders. “Caregivers, psychologists and educators are now in charge of explaining to residents that they are going to change locations,” reports JIR.
If the ARS and the Department are now involved in the care of the 53 residents, the JIR emphasizes, however, that the services of the ARS have been alerted several times to the living conditions of the pension. “The ARS nevertheless went twice in 2015 and 2017, without finding this abnormal situation. The security commission issued an unfavorable opinion on the continuation of activity, but the city of Saint-Denis never took any action. “Stop closing the pension while his administrative police power authorized him to do so” stresses the daily.
A report to the Saint-Denis prosecutor for “endangering the lives of others” was finally made.
