Après la publication du livre-enquête « Les Fossoyeurs » du journaliste Victor Castanet qui incriminait le groupe d’Ehpad privés Orpea, le gouvernement avait annoncé le contrôle des 7 500 Ehpad de France dans les deux ans.
Following the Orpea scandal in 2022, a government-led inspection of French nursing homes (Ehpad) resulted in "serious sanctions" for 55 establishments. These sanctions include immediate closure or placement under supervision due to severe mistreatment, significant operational failures, or inadequate care. By the end of 2024, 96% of the 7,500 Ehpad in France had been inspected.
