Vulnerable people abused, poorly fed and cared for, poor hygiene conditions, illegal shelters, people hidden and moved to avoid identification, patrons closing the gates to the authorities, etc. These things were revealed only in recent days by a wave of government inspections. The main question for this government remains on everyone’s lips: why did it become possible only now?

The National Agency for Payments and Social Inspection inspected 998 social services on Monday and Tuesday, 11 of which were closed, and in 25 cases the activity was suspended, reports Agerpres.

Thus, four social services were closed in Bucharest, two in Constanta county and one each in Giurgiu, Hunedoara, Maramures, Mures and Satu Mare counties.

In addition, as a result of the inspections, the work of 11 social services in Bucharest was suspended, seven in Giurgiu county, two each in Ilfov and Timiş counties, and one each in Arad, Constanța and Vilca counties.

A week after investigators visited three shelters of horrors in Voluntari and Afumac, the Ministry of Labor led by Marius Budai reports that the National Authority for the Protection of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (ANPDPD) was notified by neighbors as early as July 2022 in the case of one from centers where people were subjected to incredible abuse. Following inspections on August 23 and 24, the facility found several issues, left a list of 24 actions to be taken, some with a deadline of February 2023, and now says all of the recommendations made have been implemented by the St Gabriel’s staff association. brave”.

Two elderly people hospitalized at the Armonia care center who are the subject of a DIICOT investigation into the abuse of beneficiaries, asked to leave the center last year but were not able to do so. A woman who arrived at a private center funded by the state through the Directorate General of Social Assistance and Child Protection (DGASPC) could not be taken under the control of another association, and in the case of a man hospitalized at the Armonia center, a family that paid for his accommodation there, did not agree to move.

Association “St. Gabriel the Brave” belongs to Stefan Godey, the leader of one of the criminal groups that owned three centers where the disabled and the elderly were kept in conditions that are difficult to describe in words, were attacked, starved, imprisoned. to work and without medication.

Illegal shelters

25 elderly people were found on Tuesday in an autonomous center for the elderly in Sector 6 of the capital, where living conditions were inadequate, hygiene rules were not followed and some products were expired, according to News.ro.

Elderly people, most of whom cannot move, are being medically examined, and two women have been taken to hospital. The police have opened criminal proceedings and are investigating.

“After the first inspections, it was found that hygienic and sanitary rules are not followed, the accommodation conditions will be inappropriate, and the food offered will not meet the established norms of the law (including expired products) – a fact that can pose a threat to the lives of vulnerable people staying in this center. At the same time, the unit would not comply with the provisions of Law 333/2003 on the protection of objects, goods, valuables and the protection of persons and HG 1010/2004, in the sense that there would be no risk analysis, the security measures consist only in the installation of a video surveillance system (system video surveillance), which does not correspond from a technical point of view,” the quoted source said.

In addition, the shelter would not have a declared work point and would not have a work permit.

According to the cited source, the 25 people found in this center for the elderly are being medically evaluated by doctors and nurses from UPU-SMURD Bucharest and will be relocated to an appropriate facility.

IPJ Ilfov police officers together with ISU B-IF firefighters and SABIF medical personnel found 11 elderly, vulnerable people (some of them with disabilities) and another person who accompanied them. The woman who accompanied the 11 people claims that they were brought from the center in Voluntar, Ilfov county, so that the authorities would not recognize them.

Raed Arafat said that the building in question was a danger to patients, among other things, because it did not even have handrails on the stairs. “There, colleagues found that 11 people were in conditions that did not allow for proper care for them, in an unfinished house that did not have certain elementary things, including there were no railings on the stairs, that is, anyone could fall, especially the elderly .

The solution is to relocate them immediately. They underwent a medical examination. As far as I understand, no one required hospital admission. Six have been moved to a shelter where good conditions have been set up to receive them, four have been taken in by their relatives and one person who refused to be moved but is being worked on to be moved because we cannot leave anyone in the conditions they are in there,” Arafat said on Antena 3.

The door closed in the face of the authorities

The authorities closed a private nursing home in the city of Rymnik-Vilcha, where serious violations were allegedly discovered. This was announced on Tuesday by the president of the Vilca District Council (CJ), Constantin Redulescu, Gazeta de Sud reports.

The scandal erupted this evening when the owner of the hostel closed the door and refused the representatives of the authorities who wanted to evacuate the vulnerable people and check their health in the hospital.

The employer explains that this is an abuse of power against the background of a national scandal, that the elderly are well cared for and that he is willing to allow the media access to the facilities.

A similar incident happened on Tuesday and Maramures.

Since the outbreak of this scandal, there has been no resignation of the state leadership.

Stained walls, bedding and mattresses soaked in urine or frozen meat that is more than a month old. These are some of the reasons that led to the closure of a center for the elderly in Timisoara following an inspection on Monday.

Such inspections were carried out all over the country. In Galatsia, coincidentally or not, dozens of moth-eaten blankets were thrown on the gena, located right next to the building under the administration of the city hall.

“There is no place for them to be except from the shelter. And most of them were eaten by moths. You can see that they have holes. They are moths. Moth holes”.

IN Gorge closed a nursing home that did not have a license to operate. The conditions in which the elderly were kept were also not proper.

A center in Tirgu Mures was proposed for the suspension of activities.

28 people with severe disabilities live in a former boarding house in Tirgu Mures, converted into a care center for beneficiaries from Maramureş and Covasna. After a series of inspections on Tuesday, the control group proposed to revoke the operating license.

Residents near the center claim that screams and suspicious sounds often came from the building.

The inspections, coordinated by the Buzau County Prefecture, continue until the end of the week with 4 teams in centers and shelters in Rimnik Serat, Buzau Municipality, Halesa, Berca and Panatau, where children are served by more than 50 private or public institutions, the elderly or people with disabilities, which are subject to control.
