Got municipal guarantee that they could continue to live – now they are forced nevertheless … – Oslopuls.no

The promise of earlier elderly councils Aud Kvalbein (KrF) was clear: No one should have to move against their will.

the instruction has the coalition council turned on. To speed up the restructuring have older councils Inga Marte Thorkildsen (SV) put forward a comprehensive plan for the reduction in nursing homes: Ca. 120 of 4000 shall away.

Most dramatic is probably the decision of the former long-term residents in Solvang.

– The skalten and nominee with seniors on a reckless manner. They have been stripped of their home with a pen stroke, says Lars Løvold.

He has a law on 93 years, who were evacuated from there by a fire in March this year. She has been waiting for four months to move back.

She had, like many others, selected nursing home because it was in her usual neighborhoods. It made her partner of 97 years who are still living at home, regularly could stroll visiting.

Less than 4000 people living on long-term space at a nursing home in Oslo.

pose 16.6 percent of the population over 80 years. The proportion of nursing homes is slightly higher in Oslo than in the country as a whole (13.2 percent).

In practice nursing homes today offered to seniors in the very last stage of life. On average live an inmate at one of Oslo nursing home there for just over two years before the person goes away.

Oslo could lose billions to build new nursing homes

Calling the fire an excuse

Lars Løvold said he feared this whole road.

– I see it as the Nursing Administration has abused a minor fire to carry out a plan to get rid of long-term patients, despite an explicit promise that this was their home, where they would join residents of the dead, says Løvold.

postponement is due according to the agency that the damage was greater than originally anticipated and that they have had difficulty in obtaining spare parts. The agency says that its priority to drop to short-term patients, as they have few places to otherwise.

In the agency has the related to instruction from previous councils. But when older Commissioner zeroed out this, they chose to embed spaces.

Did not public information meeting

Aftenposten has been in contact with a handful of other relatives, all of whom are desperate and angry. They also react strongly to the agency refused to hold a public information meeting. Also Oslo Patient has questioned this.

Director Helge Jagmann in Nursing Administration shows that no resident’s situation is similar, and says that the whole road has offered individual information.

– We has worked to ensure that the residents will be best safeguarded in the situation that arose after the fire. It has not been on the resources in this case. We have had a contact person available. All have received written information, and there has been much dialogue on email and telephone. It has been conducted personal meetings with those who wanted it, he said.

Now, however, the agency reversed. In the letter that they can not return, it promised a joint meeting after the holidays.

Commissioner: – A large strain

– The situation in Solvang has been fight tough for all parties. There has been a huge strain on both employees, for affected residents and their relatives, said older councils Inga Marte Thorkildsen.

– I’m terribly sorry that this counterpoint message coming now. But at some point there must be a decision, she adds.

The Commissioner says that she trusts Nursing Administration professional judgment in the case and will not overrule it.

– This is complex, with many issues that have come on top of another. We thought at first that it was only a small fire, so it turned out that the damage and the repair work was far more extensive, she said.

Lars Løvold is not the answer good enough.

– the municipality will have to go back on this. They must restore the long-term department and offer everyone who was there, a place while they live, as they have previously promised both written and oral, he said.
