Medicharme, a large group of retirement homes, has just been placed in compulsory liquidation. Friday March 1, residents have no information regarding the continuation of their care.
What will become of the 2,000 residents of the private Medicharme group? Its 43 establishments, including 34 nursing homes, have been placed in liquidation. Medicharme is the subject of two administrative investigations, but like other groups, it is also hit by inflation, by the scandal linked to the management of nursing homes, and is struggling to allocate its beds. In Niort (Deux-Sèvres), an establishment could accommodate nearly 90 residents. Today there are around thirty. Revenues have continued to decline.
Activity maintained until April 15
“It’s horrible for the residents, for the residents’ families, because for the loved ones, it’s very complicated, and it’s horrible for the employees. I’ve been receiving calls since last week, people in tears, in panic”, deplores a caregiver. The group’s activity will be maintained until April 15 while waiting for a buyer.
