Inspection at Bokalce Retirement Home: Mistakes Identified, but No Action Will Be Taken

At the Ljubljana Vič Rudnik Retirement Home - Bokalce Unit (DSO Bokalce), the social inspection, which is primarily responsible for oversight in homes, has concluded an inspection related to allegations of inadequate care and treatment of residents. And what is the summary of the eight-month investigation, for which we have been seeking answers weekly on our portal? In one word: dismal. Does anyone even care about the distress and suffering of the elderly? Is it acceptable to place the elderly in scalding water, change their medications, and choke them with a foreign denture in their mouths? Even the Medical Chamber did not find any errors. Are the responsible institutions covering for each other? However, the Police took the complaint more seriously and filed a criminal charge due to justified suspicions of a violent crime.

Builders of Peaceful Europe Condemned to Social Exclusion in Old Age

He's alone, completely alone. Save him, save his life." The cameraman and I get into the car and drive to the heart of the picturesque Karst landscape with its vast forests. Kočevje, located 100 km from the capital, is a small town in the southeast of the country with barely 8,000 inhabitants.

We Have Betrayed a Generation (European Press Prize winner, 2024)

Children need tenderness, touch, affection, shelter and protection. But what about the elderly? This year, as never before, we have seen an alarming increase in media reports of acts of violence against the elderly, but nothing is being done. It's as if nothing shocks us anyone anymore. Have computer screens and social media led us to a kind of indifference and habituation rather than sensitivity towards the world?

Irregularities and Malpractices in UMC Ljubljana

We have exposed the actions of a lawyer, employed at the University Medical Centre (UMC) Ljubljana, who is a close associate of the procurement chief Drago Kreš. In his media appearances, Drago Kreš claims to be exposing corruption. However, we are disclosing illegal practices in the procurement of goods and services at our largest hospital, which incurred a 30-million deficit in the first eight months of last year.
