According to the Law of Social Protection and Providing of Social Safety of Citizens, in this Institution
"retired persons and other old people who, because of
inadequate medical, social, residental and family problems are not able to live in a family, in other
words in the household, can be accomodated;
- as well as people who are found wandering or for some other reasons they need temporary care or supervision."
"Accomodation in the institution of social care is carried out according to the formal decision of the Centre
for Social Labour which was made according to the report and opinion of a competent team of the centre that
the accomodation is necessary."
In our institution, 110 users whose average age is 76 are accomodated. There are more males than females there.
According to the level of dependence, our users can be divided into:
- independent - they do not depend on the help of other people,
- partially dependent - they depend on the help of other people and
- completely dependent - they depend on the help of other people.
By adapting the part of the space for receiving immobile users, we made the conditions for receiving bed-ridden old
people, because demands for their accomodation are increasing.
All rooms have three or more beds. In the Building A, all rooms have their own toilet and separate
toilets - for males and for females.
Demands for a higher standard are increasing, in other words, demands for single rooms and for two-bedded
rooms and users can and want to pay for these rooms, because they do not want to go to the other town.
Here, they have relatives and friends who can come to visit them, and they also can continue their
lives in the town where they have spent their whole lives.
