Not even me, who learned it from a resident.”, testifies Ludovic Dizengremel, mayor of Mercuès, a commune in the Lot. No one had been warned of the closure of a nursing home on December 31, according to our colleagues at La Dépêche du Midi. Residents who “cried, very anxious at the idea of leaving their room, losing their bearings and their friends”, testifying to a “feeling of abandonment”.
“Everything was done on the sly”
The mayor of the village was very surprised by the closure of the establishment, creating in 1962, which explains that “everything was done on the sly”. “The Beauséjour nursing home in Mercuès will close on December 31 and the residents learned about it through an announcement made from room to room, less than a month ago”, testifies a family. Another denounces to La Dépêche du Midi the timing of this announcement: “They learn this just before the Christmas holidays, it' is shameful. What a lack of humanity.”
According to information from our colleagues, the UGRM/MUTAMI mutual insurance company which took over the structure in 2004 would like to move towards the development of its follow-up and rehabilitation care (SSR) activities. In the region, other establishments have offered to accommodate residents, notably in Pradines or Cahors, explained the mayor Ludovic Dizengremel.
