Boarding House for the Elderly and Disabled

A boarding home for the elderly and disabled is an institution designed for permanent residence of incapacitated elderly and disabled people who cannot live independently due to physical or mental problems. Such people need constant care and attention, as well as medical and social support.

A boarding house is usually located in a separate building or in a complex of buildings, where all conditions for comfortable living and care for patients are created. The institution employs qualified medical and social workers who provide care for the elderly and disabled, provide them with medical care, carry out preventive measures, organize leisure and social events.

The institution is usually financed from the state budget or from funds received from donations and charitable organizations. However, many residential care homes also have their own sources of income, for example by renting out spare space or selling products and services created by patients.

The main tasks of a boarding home for the elderly and disabled are to ensure the safety and comfort of patients, maintain their physical and mental health, provide psychological support and social adaptation. The institution also organizes leisure and cultural events to help patients maintain their social activity and interest in life.

In conclusion, we can say that a boarding house is an important element of the social protection system. It helps older people and people with disabilities maintain their independence and quality of life by providing them with care throughout their lives.

The boarding house is intended for the permanent placement of persons who have lost the ability to independently satisfy the basic needs of life or who have therefore become completely dependent on outside help and care.

The category of people classified as “elderly” includes pensioners (over 60 years old), citizens by age (men from 60-65 years old and women from 55-60 years old), etc. Among this category of people there is a significant proportion of men aged over 70 -75 years of age who require daily ongoing care and medical assistance.
