Suspension of geriatric admissions in France in 2023 : a national PUGG survey of the French Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology
France is experiencing exceptionally high closures of hospital geriatric beds, which increases the difficulties of access to geriatric care for the oldest and most frail French citizens. The French Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology (SFGG) conducted a national survey in January 2023 among French geriatricians and gerontologists with the aim of drawing up an inventory of the closure of hospital geriatric beds in France and the reasons for these closures. The online survey was carried out among the 1,600 members of the SFGG between January 8 and 22, 2023. The results showed that 34.7% of geriatric units were affected by bed closures in January 2023, with 25.7% of beds closed on average. All levels of hospital geriatric sectors were affected by bed closures, but rehabilitation units were the most affected ones. The most frequent reason for bed closures was the lack of nurses, then the lack of physicians, and finally the lack of nursing aids. Reopening dates were not defined in more than 90% of cases. Resolving this crisis will imply recognizing and revaluing geriatric caregivers, both financially and in terms of more appropriate caregiver/patient ratios. These measures are necessary to avoid the bankruptcy of hospitals and to preserve decent, respectful and dignified care for our seniors.
