Orpea: first concrete measures identified – 09/27/2022 at 09:51


(CercleFinance.com) – Orpea announced last night that it had learned the lessons of its General Meetings held last spring with the implementation of a first series of ‘concrete’ measures.

In a press release, the retirement home operator said it had identified a number of initiatives deemed “essential”, starting with better consideration for residents, employees and caregivers.

The group also says it wants to establish a dialogue between EHPAD and families of residents, which will result in the establishment of a ‘listening cell’ open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to be led by psychologists.

The dependency care specialist also intends to strengthen the personalization of support for residents, while ensuring real autonomy for facility managers.

Laurent Guillot, the company’s managing director, considered that this first step constituted “the foundations of a new model” for the group.

Orpea has planned to launch a large recruitment and internal training program in order to find stable staff, with the objective of recruiting 550 people per month by the end of the year, then 800 per month in 2023.

Last May and June, all of the group’s stakeholders were invited to some fifty establishments to discuss and bring out solutions to best meet everyone’s expectations.

These ‘States General’ brought together 1,800 people (residents, families, employees, health and home care professionals, partners, elected officials, associations).

Following these announcements, the Orpea title rose by 2.9% on Tuesday morning on the Paris Stock Exchange. It is still down 85% since the start of the year.
