EHPAD Marion de Givry à NEVERS

During my visit to my grandmother, I was deeply moved. The place, seen from the outside and in the photos, is indeed magnificent. But the reality inside left me with profound questions. The apartment she lives in seemed dilapidated, far from the image one might imagine. Beyond the state of the place, it was above all the feeling of loneliness that struck me: during the time I spent with her, there were very few visits, very little presence. It's touching and a little sad to think that after a lifetime of work, someone can end their days in a space that lacks both warmth and human attention. In such a beautiful setting, one would hope that support, presence, and small moments of connection would be at the heart of everyday life. The beautiful photos are eye-catching, but it is above all these moments of human warmth that make all the difference for our elders.

A caring team for our seniors. Mom settled in very well and was embraced by the whole team. Excellent service, quality food, and varied daily activities. Thank you for your wonderful care.

A residence offering a renovated setting and expertise closely aligned with the residents' needs. A big thank you to the entire team.

The entire staff is very attentive, despite the difficult situations they sometimes face and where it's essential to maintain control. Even though it's part of the job, they are still human beings. Well done to the team, whom I'm starting to know and appreciate well! The meals are perfectly balanced and delicious. Weekends are less enjoyable because they're less structured, and it's becoming urgent to install the new screen because it's practically unreadable! The residents are starting to mention this, and it's especially distressing for those with impaired vision. The time of day when boredom sets in most strongly is before dinner, when time seems to drag on for them. Additional support would be welcome in many situations, but I know it's not easy.

Since February 2022, one of my cousins ​​has been a resident at the Marion retirement home in Givry. The monitoring and medical care provided have allowed my cousin to recover from nasty bedsores. The staff is very attentive to the residents' well-being. The atmosphere is peaceful. The activities offered are varied and original (e.g., a jazz concert for the Fête de la Musique with a renowned orchestra). The varied menus whet the appetites of the diners!
