the Korian group of retirement homes is the subject of 30 complaints

On Wednesday June 8, 30 complaints were filed against Korian, the French number one for retirement homes. Two sisters, who had placed their father in a Korian facility a year ago, quickly suspected abuse. “Dad, after two weeks he had a sore on his heel“, says Elisabeth Segalen, a complainant. Her father also wore protections day and night, because the staff did not take him to the toilet.

In all, 18 families filed complaints for endangering the lives of others, failure to assist a person in danger and manslaughter. Their lawyer, Sarah Saldmann, is already at the origin of the complaints against the Orpea group for similar facts. “The goal of the people I represent is obviously to honor the memory of their father or their mother, but also to ensure that the system changes in the long term.“, assures Sarah Saldmann. She denounces a lack of staff and institutional mistreatment. In France, Korian has 298 nursing homes.
