Integrated care at seniors’ home

Increasing the quality of life of 165 elderly people from Bucharest and Ilfov County, who are in a situation of social vulnerability by offering a comprehensive and innovative package of quality social services, focused on ensuring adequate care for a dignified social life. This project contributes to achieving the general objective of POCU “Investing in human capital”, due to the activities aimed at providing social services tailored to the specific needs of older people so as to ensure them a dignified life and a beautiful and active old age. The project invests a lot in the effective provision of social services, that active part of social inclusion that comes to support vulnerable people and to contribute to removing them from vulnerability by making them deminiscent citizens of society and contributing to ensuring a dignified and beautiful aging, even to ensuring the prerequisites for an active aging useful to society. The final goal of the project is that through the package of social services provided can be supported about 165 elderly people and about 60 % of them to be removed from the state of vulnerability, which will contribute to the achievement of the spectific objective 4.4. of POCU. The project’s approach, based on the identified need and experience in the concrete activity carried out so far, achieves objectives assumed by Romania in the programming documents and in its efforts to promote social inclusion and combat poverty as stipulated in POCU Priority Axis 4. The purpose of the project also does not deviate from the relevant documents on the basis of which POCU was defined and thus aims to contribute to the removal from poverty and social exclusion of fragile marginalised groups and who can be socially active persons who can contribute to the well-being of the community where they come from, moving from the stage of the socially assisted person to the active person in society. In the long term, the positive effect of the project is given by: increasing the quality of life of community members will prevent or combat, through the services offered, the risk of social marginalisation or social exclusion of older people, raising awareness of the community and public opinion with the problems of older people, ensuring the prerequisites of implementing national legislation to existing standards, ensuring quality services, accessible and persuaded to a category of vulnerable people and who often lose their self-confidence and self-esteem. Through the general objective and the specific ones, the project contributes to the achievement of the main objective of "POCU 2014-2020 which aims to develop human resources by increasing access to a quality education and training system, stimulating employment, especially for young people, reducing poverty and social exclusion by facilitating access to
