I am so unobservant

EHPAD is an  acronym   name for maison de retraite.

Etablissement d' hebergement pour personnes agées dependantes

I was reading a French newspaper article where there had been a burglary in an EHPAD and I had to check up ( with Malc of course) what an EPHAD was.
Apparently they are now generally called EPHAD's and are even signed as such, even here at Laguepie. So the talk will no longer be of  "don't fancy ending up in a maison de retraite " to " don't want to be stuck in an EPHAD."
