“That urine sleep once[’elle] enter the nursing home despairs of him. In each visit, Monique Plazzi, the socialist vice-president responsible for supporting the loss of freedom and disability in the department of Haute-Vienne, leaves with “Character is the river”. Because you know the origin of “sun” : founding director no “no more changes four times a day, like before, grandpas and grandmas”confides the chosen one. You have to reduce it “budget seats” to save money as a nursing home “in the red”.
In Haute-Vienne, almost 80% of retirement homes are inadequate. In France, this is the case for two out of three establishments, according to statistics from players in the sector. “The EHPADs are going through an unprecedented crisis of confidence, combined with an unsustainable economic situation, due to the funding model that is loud”, summarizes Stéphane Junique, president of the VYV partner group, which has 224 hospitals.

Not to mention access to bank loans, which has become more difficult.
