Question 13340 — elderly people

Summary

Mr. Fabrice Le Vigoureux draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the working conditions and their consequences on the quality of life of seniors in accommodation establishments for dependent elderly people (EHPAD). Indeed, since the start of 2018, staff in the sector have mobilized on several occasions to alert the Government. These dedicated and committed staff must be able to devote more of their working time to elderly people who request their support. The evolution of French demography is significant. Today, France has 1.5 million people aged 85 and over. By 2050, there will be 4.8 million. It is necessary and urgent to provide these establishments with additional financial resources, but also human resources. The Government presented, on May 30, 2018, its roadmap “ old age and autonomy” which includes several short-term measures to improve the quality of care and support in EHPADs as well as at home. This plan provides, in particular, to increase the number of caregivers for residents thanks to an additional envelope of 143 million euros which is added to the 217 million euros already planned over the period, i.e. 360 million euros from 2019 to 2021 intended for the recruitment of staff caregivers in EHPADs. This is progress, but EHPADs encounter many difficulties in recruiting due to the lack of attractiveness of these professions. Thus, he asks her what measures she plans to implement to create the additional positions necessary for the demographic evolution of France, but also to recruit and motivate staff in this sector in order to restore working conditions for professionals and acceptable living conditions for vulnerable seniors.
