Kreuth - The senior citizens' residence "Villa Bruneck" in Kreuth will close its inpatient care at the end of 2021. The reason is a lack of staff.
Nevertheless, there is a lot of criticism of the approach.
Kreuth's mayor Josef Bierschneider was disappointed when the special committee recently met as a corona alternative to the local council.
He reported how the district office had informed him that the owner plans to no longer operate the department as a care station, but as assisted living.
That would be in the sense of the building permit.
However, in order to prevent the rooms from being used for purposes other than those intended, a vote was taken at the meeting to issue a ban on changes to the property at Gräfin-Schlippenbach-Weg 15 and 16 and to draw up a development plan.
Criticism of the deadline for closure in Kreuth
Before the seven members of the local council present voted unanimously in favor of it, Martin Walch (SPD) found clear words: “This is not a way of dealing with people who are dependent on care.” Above all, the date for the termination he criticized December 31, 2021. On the one hand because of the turn of the year itself, on the other hand because of the short deadline, because the residents have to move out within two months. “December 31, 2022 would have been an acceptable date,” added Wolfgang Rebensburg (FWG).
However, there was no other way, explains the operator.
Due to an acute shortage of nursing staff, the department has to be closed, reports the management of the Sozialwerk Heuser Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH: "As a result, among other things, the stipulated specialist quota of 50 percent could no longer be adhered to."
Senior residence Schliersee already closed
The residents would be supported in the search for suitable inpatient places or could stay on site, looked after by an outpatient service. When asked whether there wasn't a more suitable date for the termination than the turn of the year, the management announced: . To continue beyond December 2021. "
The timing is extremely inconvenient, after the senior citizens' residence in Schliersee was recently closed and new places had to be found for the residents, says spokeswoman Sophie-Marie Stadler from the Miesbach district office.
“The problem is not the care places, there are still plenty of vacancies,” she says.
“The problem is that the facilities cannot find any nursing staff and, accordingly, cannot take in as many residents.”
