A private nursing home in Innsbruck closes. The daughter of a resident is furious: she has no information, does not know how to proceed. The Innsbruck Social Services (ISD) still think.
Lydias (name changed) has only lived in the so-called Vitality Residence Veldidenapark Innsbruck, a residential and nursing home in the district in Innsbruck van Wilten. Now the building must be renovated, the operation is stopped. How does Lydia’s father continue? “I don’t know, I don’t have any information at all. I don’t know if you said anything to my father – he is demented.”
Finally, she learns from media reports: residents of care level three – this affects around 40 people – must be taken over by the ISD. When the staff comes by. Because there are enough free beds – but these are currently closed due to the lack of staff. However, it is uncertain whether the employees come by, although Hubert Innerbner, director of the ISD is optimistic: “I am pretty good for.”
“Don’t know how to pack it”
After all, the employees are also confronted with the sudden home. For Lydia, the lack of information is particularly fatal: “I have to take a look. Moreover, my father is Wiltener – I don’t know how to move to Pradl.”
ISD: “We are currently in the hot phase”
“We are currently in the” hot phase “in terms of the decision -taking employees and residents. In the coming days, the nursing staff will receive an individual, specific offer for a transfer to us. Family members or residents are also looking at the situation with us (Pradl Dormitorory).” You would like to come up with a specific figure in one to two weeks.
For municipal councilor Evi Kofler (Ali) this example shows how devastating privatization in the health care system: “The decision of Vamed Care to stop the functioning of the Vital Residence in the short term is a political wake -up call. Trust and continuity – for residents and for their family members and employees.”
She argues for a political dedication: “Care and support may not be left to the market. They are a social task. Those who save here, except humanity and dignity.”
