Reported care abuses at Tamarinde

The State Secretary for Long-Term Care said the reported abuses at the Tamarinde care institution affected her. She made the statement in response to parliamentary questions after family members of residents told RTV Utrecht that the care fell below standards, citing soiled diapers, greasy hair and feces under residents’ fingernails. The Health Care Inspectorate did not see grounds for further investigation, according to the statement.
