Alas, but at what point in life does youth end and you have to think about the need to identify an elderly relative in a suitable place.
Historical background
Mentions of the institution of charity were found in Russia in the pre-Christian period. But an organized system was formed only after the baptism of Russia, when the first monasteries appeared. It was under them that hospitals and almshouses were opened, where they received wandering and suffering people. Already in 1551, this experience was adopted by the state, as evidenced by the decision of the Stoglavy Church Council. Peter the Great partially took away this function from the churches, leaving them without a sufficiently high income. Care for the poor was transferred to the elders, provincial masters, and the financial department.
Such establishments were designed not only to engage in charity, but also to eliminate the marginal stratum in society. In general, state institutions accounted for about 80% of all establishments, the rest belonged to private individuals.
In 1917, public charity was abolished and replacedcame the social security system. Naturally, there was not enough money, and references to how the old people lived can be found even in fiction, in particular, by Ilf and Petrov.
Today, there is a revival of centuries-old traditions, the role of the Orthodox Church is increasing, not only state institutions, but also private ones are working. But you should always remember that the most disinterested kindness and warmth can only come from a loved one.
The first private nursing homes in Moscow began to appear in 2007. This type of activity was carried out by Senior Group LLC, which to this day is considered the largest network enterprise in the field of providing services for the maintenance of the elderly.
State social institutions
Today, there are 1 or more nursing homes in every municipality. Conventionally, they are divided into 3 types:
- boarding schools for the disabled and pensioners;
- boarding houses for labor veterans;
- institutions for the disabled or mentally ill.
How to get there?
Despite the considerable number of nursing homes in Moscow, getting there is not so easy. And the problem is not that it is difficult to collect all the required documents, but that there are simply no free places. It is clear that there is no “adequate” provision of such establishments by the state, therefore they do not develop and do not increase the number of places. Basically the same situationobserved throughout the country, and, accordingly, such institutions are not popular. This is confirmed by numerous reviews of people who have encountered this problem face to face.
Residing in state nursing homes in Moscow can be called conditionally free. If an elderly person does not have the opportunity to pay for services, then 75% will be deducted from his pension. This is done through a pension fund, the balance, in theory, should be transferred to the hands of a pensioner. At the same time, in practice this legal requirement is rarely met. According to reviews, it is quite difficult to settle your relative in Moscow for free, that is, for 75% of the pension. In most cases, the minimum cost for the services of a state institution is 100 thousand rubles a month or the transfer of one's residential property on a life-rent basis to a boarding house.
If it is possible to accommodate an elderly person in a municipal institution, it cannot be categorically stated that the conditions here are terrible, in fact, a safe stay and food for each client is provided. They even provide, albeit minimal, but still medical services. But if a person needs special care, then you will have to think about a private boarding house.
