Horror in Yagoda: 75 Elderly Rescued from Neglectful Nursing Home

Elderly Residents Rescued from Neglectful Bulgarian Nursing Home A shocking discovery in the village of Yagoda, Bulgaria, has led to the rescue of 75 elderly residents from a nursing home where they were subjected to inhumane conditions. Images released by authorities depict cramped and unsanitary living spaces, with some residents found with their limbs tied. The monthly fee for residents was reportedly over 900 Bulgarian Leva (approximately 450 EUR). "The elderly people were in a terrible state," said Pavlina Delcheva, Deputy Mayor of Stara Zagora. "Many were exhausted, hadn't slept, and were understandably distressed." Authorities acted swiftly, removing the residents and initiating a criminal investigation. Six individuals, including a 62-year-old man, have been detained. The investigation is ongoing, focusing on the home's management and the level of care provided. The rescued residents have been relocated to various facilities, with social services working to find appropriate long-term care. This incident highlights the urgent need for greater oversight and regulation of nursing homes in Bulgaria to prevent future cases of neglect and ensure the safety and well-being of vulnerable elderly people.
