Bridge Group’s Nursing Homes Faulted by Cour des Comptes for Degraded Care

Delphine Mainguy’s governance overhaul since August 2024 aims to restore care standards in response to auditors’ findings of management failings and financial strains.

Un rapport de la Cour des comptes pointe de nombreuses défaillances dans les Ehpad du groupe Bridge.
La Cour des comptes a constaté, durant ses visites dans les différentes Ehpad du groupe Bridge, de graves manquements à la qualité de service rendu aux résidents.

Overview

  • The Cour des Comptes report published June 25 highlights a ‘degraded’ quality of service and resident care across all 31 Bridge Group nursing homes through 2022.
  • Auditors attribute the decline to management and organizational failures along with deteriorated finances under founder Charles Mémoune’s leadership.
  • Inspectors faced obstructions during their investigation, including unresponsive officials, missing documents and denied access to management software.
  • In summer 2023, three Bridge nursing homes in Haut-Rhin were placed under provisional administration after dysfunctions endangered residents.
  • Since August 2024, new president Delphine Mainguy has launched a comprehensive transformation plan to address past shortcomings.
