Africa-Press – Mauritius. Covered with twelve wounds, the beneficiary of the central support for people with a loss of autonomy in Trois-Rivières has been working with bed bugs for two months, but nothing has changed, his daughter lamented on Friday.
“He has wounds that are getting infected. This is inappropriate. I don’t understand, I really don’t understand how it’s been so long,” said Frances Lefebvre, worried about her mother’s condition.
On Saturday, the woman took several photographs of her mother, who resides at the Pavillon des Aînés in Sainte-Marthe-du-Cap, showing the largest one covered in bite marks on her arms, back and close to her face.
According to his daughter, the beneficiary never received any medication or treatment for his wounds. When she wanted to report the situation, Ms.
Lefebvre and her brothers came up against several mailboxes, she lamented. Even through e-mail communication would not be easy as some pass the buck and others don’t even bother to respond.
The process is frustrating for the family, who are trying to get answers and be informed of the action plan for what happens next. “They don’t do anything.
It’s always saying, don’t be in a place, sighing at another woman. The management of the old Pavilion refused to grant an interview with the camera to TVA Nouvelles, but nevertheless gave something about the situation.
He confirms that exterminators from Abbott Extermination came twice to pull out the bed bugs. According to management, a few have been seen recently, and the problem is close to being solved.
Rooms other than Ms Lefebvre’s mother’s were also recently affected by bed bugs. The CIUSSS de la Mauricie – Center-du-Québec is also aware of the matter, and all precautionary measures are being taken to solve the problem.
His office, in such a case, will accompany the residence, if necessary, to inform the staff who will be working there about the current situation.
Despite these words, France Lefebvre says that he distrusts the residence and its actors. According to experts, in the event of an infestation, it is necessary to act very quickly since the propagation is easy and easy.
“The work on the site is not very complicated. We no longer work with a broom, steamer, and pesticide, we also work with fungus. [. . .
] Normally, a month and a half, depending on the level of infestation, should be greater in the tabarouette than it should last longer,” explained the CEO of Gestion Parasitaire du Québec, Stephan Sicotte.
In a letter sent to the family on Thursday, the nurse testified that she examined the resident’s body and told relatives that the wounds on the arms had completely healed and that the wounds on the back, abdomen and lower limb were no longer there.
The assertion is very doubtful. Lefebvre, who last Saturday, could count dozens and dozens of bites all over his mother’s body, which seemed far from healing.
The nurse added in her message that Ms. Lefebvre’s mother I finally made an appointment with a dermatologist on April 24th. Although the mother receives care, she only wants one thing: to get out of the facility.
“This lady is going to be 90 years old, and I think that until her last breath, she deserves to be happy,” he concluded.
