The care center 'Rīga' has announced that it will intensify attention towards clients with low body weight, following a high-profile case that raised concerns about the care provided to vulnerable individuals. Although investigations from multiple agencies, including the Ministry of Welfare and the State Health Inspectorate, found no evidence of inadequate care or negligence by staff, the organization is taking proactive steps to prevent any future incidents.

In response to the scrutiny, the center has outlined several measures aimed at improving the quality of care, including better documentation of food and nutrition services and regular weight checks for residents with reduced body weight. This initiative reflects a broader commitment to enhancing care quality and ensuring the well-being of all clients, particularly those at greater risk due to health complications.

Director Juris Saratovs emphasized that implementing these recommendations is crucial for fostering a safer environment. The case highlighted the importance of vigilant care practices, especially in facilities catering to individuals with complex needs, thereby setting a precedent for similar institutions across the country to adopt stricter monitoring and improvement protocols.
