Predore, RSA closed for more than 5 months Postponed reopening: personal lack – EcoDiBergamo.it

The reopening of the “Villa Serena” asylum in Predore has been postponed: in fact, two out of every three doctors and two out of every four nurses are missing, so the opening scheduled for September is destined to go further, except that these days The management of the Universiis de Udine cooperative, which has been managed by the parish since 2005, can find the missing figures in the staff. There are 20 employees for 25 guests, plus seven doctors and nurses, 10 health and social workers (Oss), a laundry man, another in the kitchen, and a maintenance technician. The shortage of doctors and nurses is a problem that affects other nursing homes as well, after the pandemic has claimed so many victims even among medical and health personnel. Specifically, however, the two doctors who worked at RSA in the Covid period won the competition for general practitioners, incompatible with other positions. In the period of great health emergency, the late 56-year-old head of nursing Lidia Liotta, on duty until the end, died of contracting the coronavirus and another resigned. “We are struggling to find these professional figures – explains the director Tiberio Foiadelli -. We have had many contacts but for now without stagnation. Let’s hope someone shows up.
