Neglect?
LKA has launched an investigation into a nursing home
Following serious allegations against a nursing home in Hard (Vorarlberg), the Feldkirch public prosecutor's office has now become involved. They are investigating the neglect of a defenceless person. The senior citizen had lost a lot of weight within a few weeks and suffered from sores.
The next chapter in the case of the pensioner (89) who was allegedly neglected in a retirement home in Hard. At least that is the allegation made by the sons of the man, who has since died. The man had lost an extreme amount of weight within a few months and had to be operated on because of sores. The State Office of Criminal Investigation has now opened an investigation, as confirmed by Heinz Rusch, spokesman for the Feldkirch public prosecutor's office.
The case is being investigated for "torturing or neglecting underage, young or defenceless persons", Section 92 of the Criminal Code. The public prosecutor's office took action in this case on its own initiative.
The case has been in the public eye for around three weeks. After the allegations came to light, several investigations were launched, including by the state. In addition, Senecura, the operator of the home, recently presented two expert reports that exonerate the facility. They state that the man was neither neglected nor was artificial feeding an option. Senecura has so far denied all allegations.
