Au & nbsp; 24 & nbsp; pilot territories, a long-term care system for the elderly is being developed. The task of its creation throughout the country is described in the instruction of Russian President Vladimir Putin following the meeting with social workers and representatives of non-profit organizations.
In & nbsp; next year as part of the national 'Demography' project it will be implemented in all regions of the country. This is done by the Charitable Foundation for the Aid of the Elderly and Disabled “ Old Age in & Nbsp; Joy & # 39 ;. It & nbsp; acts as a methodologist and & nbsp; expert in & nbsp; collaboration with the & nbsp; Russian Ministry of Labor, regional ministries and & nbsp; non-profit organizations.
Long-term care & nbsp; & mdash; it is a set of measures, including care, support, rehabilitation, socialization, psychological support and other types of assistance, to overcome the limitations, to preserve the quality of human life. The long-term care system makes this care guaranteed and & nbsp; available at & nbsp; at home, in & nbsp; hospitals and & nbsp; semi-hospitals for people of all ages who have persistent limitations and & nbsp; depend on & nbsp; outside help in & nbsp; in relation with & nbsp; diseases, as well as age people who care for them. In other words, the long-term care system & mdash; it is such a system in which every elderly person or person who, due to illness or injury, depends on outside help, is guaranteed to receive the best quality of possible life, autonomy, the right to choose and the possibility of self-actualization, given one's limitations in life.
In the & nbsp; Republic of Komi, in the & nbsp; territorial center of social services for the population of the city of Syktyvkar, there is a rental point for technical means of rehabilitation. Here you can borrow a wheelchair, toilet chair, crutches, canes, walkers and a bath seat for temporary use. The assortment here is constantly being updated and restocked. For city dwellers, whose families have relatives with reduced mobility, or who themselves have a disability, it is possible to get acquainted with the possibilities of adaptation and improvement of the comfort of housing taking into account the needs of a person with reduced mobility. Such an event takes place in the Functional Apartment for People with Disabilities. This both presentation and training platform was created in 2014 as part of the Komi Republic program “ Accessible environment '', and & nbsp; now & nbsp; & mdash; it is also one of the elements of the long-term care system and & nbsp; part of the national project 'Demography'. & # 39; Functional apartment & # 39; equipped with equipment suitable for & nbsp; needs & nbsp; Here & nbsp; there are small means of rehabilitation, which are intended for people with disabilities and & patients with musculoskeletal dysfunctions. These little things really help people with reduced mobility with their & nbsp; self-service in & nbsp; life. For example, this is a special latch to hold and & nbsp; open cans, a cooking appliance, a cap for a & nbsp; plate, special cutlery equipped with handles in & nbsp; non-slip material & mdash; curved spoons, forks and & nbsp; knives, accessories for buttoning buttons, putting on shirts and & nbsp; jackets, stockings and & nbsp; socks and & nbsp; others & raquo ;, & nbsp; & mdash; explained Larisa Irgasheva, specialist in & nbsp; social work of the territorial center of social services for the population of Syktyvkar.
In the Krasnodar Territory, such rental centers for rehabilitation equipment are opened on the basis of all complex centers of social services for the population. & laquo; I & nbsp; & mdash; retired, taking care of & nbsp; my sister, who has already been in bed for two months, & nbsp; & mdash; told the recipient of social services Lyubov L. & mdash; & nbsp; We really needed a wheelchair. Having learned that in the & nbsp; social service center, it & nbsp; can be rented, I & nbsp; contacted and & nbsp; I was free and & nbsp; quickly issued everything. At & nbsp; a resident of the Leningrad region of the Krasnodar Territory Olga & nbsp; G. my husband injured his leg. For recovery and rehabilitation, doctors recommended that a man walk with a cane. They decided not to buy the cane, since the rehabilitation period is temporary, but took it to the rental point. Also in the Krasnodar Territory there is a program “ Homestay for the elderly and & nbsp; disabled '', which allows single elderly people to find new accommodation. 11 & nbsp; host families were created in & nbsp; Abinsky district, in & nbsp; which house 12 & nbsp; the elderly. Elderly spouses in need of & nbsp; Sergey Leonidovich and & nbsp; Tamara Borisovna for three years they live in & nbsp; their new family Tatiana Anatolyevna & nbsp; E. , whose youngest daughter & nbsp; & mdash; Lisa has become everyone's favorite and & nbsp; named granddaughter of the elderly couple. In the district of & nbsp; Labinsky, thanks to caring people, today 3 & nbsp; elderly people live with host families. Each of these families has its own history. Tatiana Mikhailovna & nbsp; B. is in the care of the family of Irina Nikolaevna & nbsp; G. of & nbsp; the city of Labinsk. After the death of her son, an elderly woman was left alone and needed help. She was no longer able to manage a household in & nbsp; alone. Irina Nikolaevna knew Tatyana Mikhailovna's son and decided to take him on her own. “ I & nbsp; felt I had to help, so that would be fair & nbsp; & mdash; and & nbsp; not & nbsp; was wrong & raquo ;, & nbsp; & mdash; says Irina Nikolaevna.
