Scandal in Vienna: Senior residence closes without warning!

On Saturday, February 8, 2025, the popular program "Citizens' Attorney" by Peter Resetarits in ORF 2 will take up an old topic at 6:00 p.m., which is burning for many senior citizens. A senior residence in Vienna Meidling surprisingly hired the company, which means that 100 residents have to vacate their places by the end of April. Especially bitter for those who have only recently moved to the home, since they now have to fight with inadequate information and emotional challenges, such as www.ots.at reported.

In addition to the sad situation of the seniors, the topic of Long Covid is also dealt with in the program. Here it is critically questioned whether pupils who suffer from the consequences of this disease should have the right to teach from home. According to reports from the public prosecutor, the support of the authorities is inadequate, which also puts families under pressure in an already stressful situation. The Vienna Education Directorate had promised in May 2024 not to let those affected down, which is now being put to the test, such as der.ORF.at

legal steps and discussions

In the studio, the situation of consumer and tenant protectors and a representative of the social fund in Vienna is discussed in order to illuminate the legal consequences of the unexpected closure of the retirement home. The people who lived in the senior residence expressed great annoyance on the poor information policy of the operators. It is to be hoped that your voices will be heard and solutions will be found that help those affected.
