The mood is currently tense on the management floor of the “House for Seniors” in the Aigen district of Salzburg. The reason is serious accusations in an anonymously written letter that recently arrived at the home counselor.
“Allegations not confirmed”
The next day they checked the Diakonie facility unannounced. “The accusations have not been confirmed,” director Michael König emphasizes to “Krone”.
The self-proclaimed ex-employee wrote that a resident almost choked when he ate a sausage without dentures. The man died shortly afterwards. König disputes this serious accusation: the resident came to the hospital with an emergency doctor, returned in the evening in a stable condition and died only five days later. The FPÖ social councilor Christian Pewny, who is responsible for home surveillance, said: “No causal link could be established between the consumption of the sausage and the occurrence of death.”
Personal hygiene is also guaranteed
Further accusations relate to personal hygiene. Diakonie also contradicts this: residents are regularly washed, their clothes changed and their bedding changed. “We are shocked by the letter. It’s just like on social media, how our house is anonymously flooded with criticism,” says Michael König. You wonder what the statements in the letter are based on and who they come from. There have been no “critical employee departures” recently.
