PARIS, May 2 (Reuters) – The Orpea group ORP.PA, in turmoil since the end of January amid accusations of failings in the care of residents of its retirement homes, announced in a press release on Monday the appointment of Laurent Guillot, former Deputy Director of Saint-Gobain, as Chief Executive Officer from July 1.
The group of private Ehpad (accommodation establishment for dependent elderly people) also announces that it has filed a complaint against X “for past facts and operations – unrelated to the reception and care conditions for residents – likely to pose question with regard to the social interest of Orpea and discovered following internal investigations.”
The group published last week the first results of the independent external audits, a progress report stressing “that there is no system of organized mistreatment of residents, but points out dysfunctions which call for evolutions”, is- he recalled in the statement. nL5N2WO2DF
