Korian

Korian is the result of the merging of the corresponding companies Finagest and Serience in 2003.^[1][2]

On 4 April 2020 an investigation by France Inter revealed grave shortcomings in a Korian EHPAD in Clamart, where Korian refused to acknowledge the existence of COVID-19 cases.^[3]

At the same date, the number of deceased from COVID-19 in another EHPAD managed by Korian in Mougins amounted to 29 people among 110 residents.^[4] According to the president of the Alpes-Maritimes department, this residence had almost as many victims as all the department.

On 19 April Libération revealed that 511 residents died from COVID-19 in EHPAD managed by Korian since 1 March, adding that the death toll was probably higher because residents deceased at hospital were not included in these figures.^[5]

On 26 April Sophie Boissard, Korian CEO, announced 606 deceased in EHPADs managed by Korian.^[6]

On 19 May a joint criminal investigation was started following families complaints about several EHPADs in Hauts-de-Seine.^[7]
