Nursing home closed due to lack of hygiene and food in Campinas

Hygiene problems and food shortages According to the city hall, at the time of the inspection, there were no professionals for cleaning, laundry and kitchen work, in addition to a shortage of food. There was dirt on surfaces and furniture, including records of bed linen in use containing urine and secretions. There was also a lack of updated medical records and prescriptions for the elderly, documents that record the health monitoring of each elderly person. The washbasins were without material for hand hygiene and items for residents' personal use, such as toothbrushes and combs, were scattered throughout the bathrooms without protection against contamination.
