Orpea changes its name, two years after the scandal

Heavily in debt, the group managing nursing homes and clinics was saved from bankruptcy by the Caisse des dépôts, which, along with a consortium, took control in December 2023. It chose to rename itself Emeis, to "mark a new stage in its restructuring"

The managing director announced on Wednesday, March 20, the change of name of the group of private nursing homes, a way of marking “a new stage in its refoundation” two years after the revelations about abuse and shortcomings in staff management.

The nursing home group has changed its identity from top to bottom. A way to get rid of a brand that has “become synonymous with scandals” according to Laurent Guillot, the group's CEO.

Two years after the scandal involving the practices of its former management, the group of private Ehpad facilities is reborn by changing its name and logo.

For the group, in the turmoil since the nursing homes scandal, it was “important to change the name”. Emeis employs 76,000 people worldwide, including 28,000 in France.
