Alt dress chaos and suspicion of murder: Havelland under pressure!

Rathenow, Deutschland - Yesterday the news about suspected murder in a nursing home in Rathenow. A 91-year-old husband is suspected of having killed his 87-year-old wife and is currently in custody. The public prosecutor's office is covered by the indictment, but states that it is not determined against the care facility. This raises questions about the quality of care and monitoring in such facilities.

In addition, it is reported that the amount of textile waste in the Havelland region has exploded - nothing less than a tenfold since the beginning of the year. Practically overflowing the old clothing containers, and additional disposal could cost the district at up to 2.5 million euros. Citizens could be directly affected. The SPD parliamentary group in the district council took up this problem and proposed a new decentralized Holy System for the old dress disposal. This would increase the basic fee by 15 euros, which does not meet enthusiasm.

care facilities in the sight of the public prosecutor's office

The case in Rathenow is not the only one who worries. In Regensburg, four employees of two elderly care facilities have been charged in three cases due to the attempted murder. As n-tv.de between 2018 and 2023 have been strong pain relievers or opiates without medical resistance administered. The affected seniors died partly immediately after medication, even if a safe causal connection could not be detected. This raises serious concerns about the practice in care facilities, and it remains to be seen how the large criminal chamber of the Regensburg Regional Court will decide on the indictment.

The situation is alarming; Over 115 cases in another nursing home on the Schliersee are under investigation, including 17 deaths that have to be informed. Allegations of bodily harm and care defects, as described AgeDiskrimination.de , are the order of the day. Experiences from relatives show shocking insights into the care standards: from patients who do not receive sufficient support for eating, to injuries with an uncertain origin - such reports are anything but individual cases.

A look at the local concerns

But not only the care facilities are criticized. The infrastructure is also suffering: Due to construction work, Spandauer Straße in Falkensee has been closed one -sided since June 12, which leads to traffic jams of up to 1.5 kilometers. Around 15,000 people commute from Falkensee to Berlin every day. This shows that the everyday problems of citizens are often reinforced by overloaded public institutions.

In the middle of all of these challenges, art is also available. The 85-year-old artist Gerhard Göschel, known for his concise contributions to the street scene of Rathenow, died. He has shaped the culture of the region for many years and was awarded the Hawelland district.

To tear around the rudder in time, we not only need a critical view of the care and health systems, but also innovative approaches to the pressing disposal problems in our community. Only then can the well -being of the older and that of the general public, and we create a space in which not only the present counts, but also remains worth living.
