Question 9565 — elderly people

Summary

The “Old age and autonomy” roadmap presented on May 30, 2018 includes several short-term measures to improve the quality of care and support in accommodation establishments for dependent elderly people (EHPAD). A measure to neutralize the effects of the pricing reform has been decided for the years 2018 and 2019, with regard to EHPADs negatively impacted by this pricing reform. By Furthermore, the increase in pricing for care will be accelerated in the 2019 social security financing law to more quickly strengthen the presence of nursing staff in EHPADs, thanks to an additional effort of €143 million which is added to the €217 million already planned for the period from 2019 to 2021. In addition, €16 million in credits will be devoted to financing actions to improve the quality of life in work of staff. This approach will be linked to the actions of the national health insurance fund to support 500 nursing homes in reducing the risks of musculoskeletal disorders and psycho-social risks. Actions will also be carried out to better train professionals working with elderly people, in particular by revising the activity, skills and training benchmarks for caregivers by March 2019. More generally, actions are currently being studied to put in place a real career and skills plan for staff working with the elderly. From 2019, a plan to support investment in EPHAD of €100 million per year will be launched for establishment modernization operations. These credits are intended to support renovation projects in the most established establishments. older. Beyond these measures, the quality of life of elderly people, support for loss of autonomy and its financing are subjects which engage the future. This is why, on the occasion of the presentation of the “Old age and autonomy” roadmap, a vast consultation involving all stakeholders and citizens was launched at the beginning of October. This consultation and the reflections associated with it will aim to define what the priorities are, the base of goods and services which must in the future be accessible to all elderly people to support aging and loss of autonomy. It is also a matter of proposing major scenarios for the distribution of the contributions of each actor in terms of sustainable financing of loss of autonomy and of outlining developments in the governance of this policy. These proposals have intended to contribute to the preparation of a bill on loss of autonomy, as announced by the President of the Republic.
