Coronavirus: how to guarantee the safety of residents despite visits to Ehpad

The director of the geriatric center of Chartres Hospitals, Françoise Debray, explains:

“We took our time, because the challenge is to succeed in this situation of framed openness. There was an important preparatory phase last week with the teams. The operational hospital hygiene team provided their technical expertise “

For the director, these measures also reassure families, who have often expressed their anxiety at the resumption of visits to establishments, despite the impatience to see their loved ones again.

The system will be evaluated at the end of the week and, if necessary, adjusted:

“The objective was to ensure that there is no possibility of contamination of the residents. “

In parallel with this timid reopening on the outside, the teams continue to watch over the residents, in particular those who do not have a visit, in order to prevent this forced isolation from leading them into the “sliding syndrome”, a psychological and physical slowdown which can be fatal.

Note that similar measures have been taken in public nursing homes in Dreux.

One of the three accommodation establishments for dependent elderly people (Ehpad) in Chartres has experienced “an epidemiological situation, on which transparency has been made with families,” says Françoise Debray, without specifying the number of residents affected. This is the Hôtel-Dieu. On the other hand, no case was detected in the two other sites, the residences of Val-de-l’ure and Philippe-Desportes.
