The long-term care-Expectancy of 84 residents “go well“says Marc-Antoine Verolme, director). “We pulled up here to let the covid outside of the residence.” A chance, and an asset to better understand the déconfinement, which is accurate everywhere in the Côte-d’or.
“It is urgent”
Since this week, it is indeed easier to visit our loved ones in nursing homes. It can be done without making an appointment, residents are no longer confined in their rooms. It is “a phase of socialization, a phase of urgent, necessary for all residents who live 24h/24 in the residence. Imagine, three months in a room with affective relationships almost null.”
A new phase, but not a return to normal life. “The gestures of the barrier are still there, with a particular attention of all the staff” for that they will be respected, both by residents and by visitors, ” says Verolme. Tours that do are more limited in number, but in terms of space : “they operate in the rooms, in the privacy. We do not want people outside of saunter in the parties collective. There are steps, lines to take for everyone to be accountable on the fragility of dependent elderly people.”
A déconfinement also necessary that the containment
Marc-Antoine Verolme has nice show looking forward to see the freedom to resume his rights in his establishment, he does not question the decisions taken so far to protect its residents : “we have seen the virulence of the epidemic, it may be a doctor or a nurse to understand that this virus affects a lot more easily people who are fragile, so it was necessary.” And he stands ready to start again, if necessary, “very quickly” if it is necessary. Today we are a little more ‘sachants’ that in the month of march, both on procedures and on the knowledge of the virus, therefore we can respond very quickly, with the help of our partners.’
After the virus, the heat wave
It is the law of the series. this year, the elderly people will face both the risk of contamination, and the ‘overheating’, the heat becoming recurrent in Côte-d’or. It was therefore necessary to adapt to the situation, to face on two fronts. “The blue Plan put in place under the control of the regional Agency of health is specific to the year 2020, it takes into account both of these three months of confinement, and of the vigilance that we must have in view the heat wave that is coming.”
