Help and Home Care for Elderly and Persons with Disabilities
This initiative will monitor the election promise “Help and care in the home for the elderly and people with special needs”, which is part of the municipal program for 2023. This project was started with implementation at the beginning of 2022 and according to the program for the last local elections, a second phase of its implementation is planned in 2023. The project is of particular importance for the local population because it is a marginalized group as a specific category of citizens from minority communities, old, infirm persons. The people are alone and helpless and in dire need of care from another person because most of the young people have emigrated to Western European countries. Fulfilling this promise will make their everyday life easier and enable them to live a more dignified life. The obtained results of the monitoring will be disseminated to the public through: dissemination of information materials, public debate, social media campaign.
